Having flu still can breastfeed the baby?

Yes. U can still bf. If u are on medication tell ur doc to prescribe drugs safe for bf. Do note antihistamines may reduce milk supply

 

[angbao]

In what Situation cant breastfeed?

 

[blackcanary]

Don't think there is any situation where u cannot bf unless u are on medication that will affect bb. Medication like steroids.

If u got flu, fever or even diarrhoea, cont to bf coz ur body produces antibodies wic is gd for ur BF baby. And when doc wants to prescribe u medicine, always tell him/her that you are BF as some medicines are not suitable for expectant and nursing mothers.

Only mothers who have HIV, tuberculosis and undergoing chemo are not advisable to BF.

[h=2]Re: Flu[/h]In my case no, i did not let my baby breastfeed because if i had a sick it will transfer to the baby, much better if you used pump to flow your milk .
