A member asked:
If my 2nd baby got pneumonia and she breastfeed at my left breast, does my 1st baby will have it pneumonia too if he breastfeet on my right breast?

Bf/pneumonia: I would not breast feed both babies at the same time and also clean both breast and your hands, after handling each child to avoid the other baby getting the pneumonia.Try to use an anti bacterial soap, rinsed with warm water.
