summary
Some time ago, my wife had a fever, and she didn't know whether she should continue to feed her baby, because she had been breastfeeding all the time, and she was afraid that her baby would not eat the milk powder, or she was not used to it. For a long time. Later, I found some information and asked my doctor friend. Let's share some experience with you.
Can you breast feed when you have a cold? Pay attention to medication?
First, we should pay attention to an important principle of medication during lactation. That is: both can effectively treat the mother's disease, but also as far as possible to reduce the impact of drugs on the baby.
Second: if the mother's fever does not exceed 38.5, she can continue to breastfeed. When the mother has a cold attack, she has already brought the pathogen to the child through contact. Even if she stops breastfeeding, the child may get sick.
Third: on the contrary, insist on breast-feeding, but will make the child from breast milk to get the corresponding anti disease antibody, enhance resistance. If you need to take other drugs in a serious condition, you should follow the doctor's prescription to prevent some drugs from entering breast milk and affecting children.
matters needing attention
1. Drink more water to increase metabolism. 2. If you want to take medicine, if the cold is not serious, your mother can use some antiviral traditional Chinese medicine, such as Banlangen, Ganmaoqingre granule, Folium Isatidis, Shuanghuanglian and vitamin C. It's best to take it immediately after giving your baby good milk. If the symptoms are serious, your mother can choose some drugs that your baby can also use, such as penicillin and cephalosporin (vancomycin). 3. When breastfeeding, wear a mask to prevent the exhaled pathogens from directly entering the child's respiratory tract and infecting the baby. 4. Open the windows in turn every day. 5. Indoor vinegar steam fumigation can be used to prevent colds.
