I am breastfeeding exclusively my baby is two months, i want to know if i get sick what would be the best formula to give her temporally?

Keep breastfeeding!: Your baby is already exposed to your environment. By continuing to breastfeed she benefits from your stronger immune system and gets the antibodies needed for her to fight off your infection.
