A member asked:
Can you recommend any newborns that contracted swine flu and recovered?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, i heard about cases like that. If you have concerns about swine flu make sure you vaccinate yourself if you do not have contraindications and once your child is eligible do the same to him/her. Breast feeding may help as well to prevent if you received vaccine. Current general flu vaccine contains also swine flu virus to my knowledge.
