Yes! You're passing antibodies to your baby through the breastmilk. But if you're sneezing, you may want to wear a face mask. And wash your hands after blowing your nose before touching baby

Yes! Your baby won't catch the illness through your breast milk – in fact, it will contain antibodies to reduce her risk of getting the same bug...

Yes... continue to do so. You will be passing antibodies to your baby as you BF. Do wear a mask so you don’t pass the flu to your baby :)

Yes! Wash your hands before touching baby. Wear a mask so you don’t sneeze on baby

Yes! Your body will produce antibodies in the milk to protect the baby :)
