My 3 month old has a cold. What can I do so he can breastfeed properly?

Here’s a great link with different methods on nursing when your infant is have an illness (articles touches on cold, vomiting and diarrhea, and how to deal with a baby who refuses to nurse): http://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/illness-surgery/baby-illness/ A few of the methods mentioned include: - keeping your baby in an upright position (as much as possible) while nursing - nurse often (to provide baby with necessary antibodies from the breastmilk; also because baby would nurse for shorter durations because it is difficult for them to breathe while nursing) - using saline drop/breast milk with a rubber suction bulb to clear baby’s nose before nursing (detailed guide provided in the article) - using humidifier/vaporizer in a small room during nursing - adding few drops of essential oil to a pot of hot water for diffusion into the air (help relieve head congestion) Hope your baby gets well soon and take care of yourself as well!
