Ill with breastfed baby

İf you mean your supply is low because you are sick and you are having to use expressed milk from freezer keep drinking lots of water (3-4 litres daily), take breastfeeding vitamins. Try to eat extra well to help your body recover and carry on breastfeeding as the antibodies your body is producing for you are in your breast milk and are very beneficial for your baby's immune system, even if your supply is low.

Thanks and just in general if I felt too unwell to breast feed I guess just at minjmjntrh and pump?

Good point about antibodies though probably worth powering through to protect the baby

I ended up wearing a face mask whilst breastfeeding and tried to feed lying down so our faces weren’t as close, luckily baby didn’t get my cold. Could be worth a shot if you are able to?

I’ve never stopped breastfeeding through an illness, usually if im sick first my babies won’t get sick because i am giving them the antibodies. Drink plenty, have electrolytes of you need them and power through is my advice x

I got really sick when my little one was a younger baby. I was wearing a mask when BF, I was so so worrried he would get my illness. However, he must’ve received my antibodies and didn’t get sick at all.

Exactly like the other mums have said really. I used to think I’d rather be sick before him.

For us though, it’s a bit tougher as can only take paracetamol I think. Lots of warm liquids, honey, rest…

Good luck!!
