A member asked:

I accidentally sneezed on my 1 month old newborns face when i was about to breastfeed. his mouth was open. could i have harmed him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No : Unless you had some upper respiratory infection or respiratory disease on your part, no harm done. Also, breast milk contains antibodies which help fight disease. Your infant is able to use these antibodies to fight infection.
