A member asked:
If i have a cold (sore throat, cough, sneeze) will my 4 week old breastfed baby catch it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is always a possibility. So, observe strict infectious precautions (e.g. regular handwashing, contact precautions, etc...). However, I would definitely continue the breastfeeding though; as this confers a great deal of immune potential and nutrients to the baby.
