Can cold feed

summary

Breast milk is the best food for children, because it contains all the nutrients the baby needs and is easy to digest. But if the mother caught a cold, can you breast feed the baby? Does the cold virus in the mother's body infect the baby?

Can cold feed

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. But because the cold will be transmitted through droplets, so pay attention to wear a mask when feeding, so as not to pass the cold germs to the child through breathing.

Third: most cold drugs will not be delivered to the baby, such as cephalosporin and other drugs, generally will not dissolve into the milk, so it will not be delivered to the child.

matters needing attention

Don't breastfeed when you have a high fever. You can suspend breastfeeding for one or two days. Pay attention to empty your breast during this period to prevent breast swelling.
