My toddler son recently got hfmd from his childcare and I suppose it has spreaded to me and my 5mo infant. Qns: can I still latch my 5mo and express milk for her to drink? PS. We r making arrangement to go see doc now.

I personally feel that it is ok to breastfeed as we have antibodies when we breastfeed. It wont affect breastmilk. It is just like having fever where mothers are still encouraged to breastfeed baby though mothers are unwell. If in doubt, clarify with the doctor.

Hope both of you get well soon! It's advised to breastfeed your LO because it is the best fluid for him. Increase the number of feeds to ensure he is well hydrated. It'll comfort him too.

Hi mummy Yes, still can breastfeed and let your lo drink the ebm. In fact, now you should continue breastfeed your baby to make sure he is hydrated. Take care.
