A member asked:

If i am sick, sore throat stuffy nose, and am nursing how do i not get her sick? do i not nurse her? i'm very afraid since i care for her 98% of time

Wash your hands: Keep breastfeeding - remember she is getting antibodies from you through the breastmilk. the best way to avoid transmitting your illness is good handwashing before taking care of her. Feel better.
