Being sick is never fun, and it can make caring for your baby even more difficult and stressful than it was already. If you’re under the weather and breastfeeding you might be worried about passing on your illness to your little one, but it’s better to continue than to stop.

By the time you’re feeling sick, you’ve likely already spread your contagious germs to your baby without knowing it. Feeding your baby from your breast is actually beneficial because your milk is full of antibodies that will help fight off illness.
