A member asked:
Can a 2 month year old who's breast-feeding get the cold from his mom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Breast feeding provides protection from disease but close contact with a baby if you have a cold will not prevent the spread of a virus to the baby. Careful hand washing and wearing a mask will help but often the baby is already exposed to the virus before you know you are sick. All the best and I hope the baby does not get sick.
