Yes. You should breastfeed him/her even more frequent to give antibodies so baby can recover faster from roseola fever. If baby feels very itchy you can apply some calamine lotion on the rashes. If the rashes do not subside after 3 days bring baby to visit doctor.

Breastfeeding will also help prevent your baby from getting dehydrated, which is crucial for his/her recovery. Hope your baby gets well soon!

thanks
