I'm just getting out of a cold i'm breastfeeding my 1 month baby but now it looks like he is getting sick, he has a stuffy nose and coughing a lot??

Continue nursing: Continuation of nursing during periods of illness is beneficial because antibodies produced by mother are passed through breast milk and can help babies recover faster from illness. Nasal congestion in infants can interfere with nursing, so using saline drops in their nose is usually advised. Fever in a baby less than 2 months old (100.4 or higher rectally) is considered an emergency.
