What do you do?
I considered expressing all DDs feeds so Im not breathing on her, but just took her to bed and BF all day.

I was sick when DS was younger, and I just took him to bed and fed him all day from bed. He didn't get sick either, must be those amazing antibodies :goodvibes:

a little bit off topic, but my son was fussy when i was sick once, and my doctor told me that when your sick it can make your milk taste sour and they dont like it, does anyone know if theres any truth to this?

THanks for the advice!
DD is pretty happy with my milk, so Im guessing it doesnt taste too different?

never heard the taste thing. But i thought when you're sick was the best time to bf as you have active antibodies to pass on. Just don't gaze down all feed lol.
