Can I breastfeed if I'm sick with the flu? Whether it’s the common cold, flu, fever, or stomach flu, mothers can nurse without worrying that they’ll make their child sick. A mother’s breast milk doesn’t transmit illness to their child but it does give babies antibodies that can help them fight infection. Maintaining your nursing routine while you’re ill is the best and most efficient way to help your baby stay healthy, while at the same time maintain your milk supply. Th...e bag on the left contains breastmilk (more yellow) that mom pumped while her other children were sick with the flu. The bag on the right with the white breastmilk is from a normal pumping session when all were healthy. Still have questions? Call us!
