Can pregnant woman feed a cold

First: cold is a very common disease, but also one of the most common maternal diseases. Many mothers start to struggle with a cold, whether to continue to breastfeed their children. In fact, generally speaking, a cold does not affect breastfeeding.

Second: the cold will not affect breast-feeding, on the contrary, it will pass the immune factors in the mother to the baby, so that the child can enhance resistance.
