Is it okay to breastfeed (direct latch) baby when I'm sick? I feel like I'm coming down with the flu :(

    Definitely, yes. You just put on a mask so the baby won't catch the virus. The sickness will not be passed on to your child through breastfeeding. And if ever the baby gets sick, he will have antibodies to fight it because of the milk he's getting from you.
