I'm breastfeeding my baby still but i have a very painful stomach and some green stools for the last week, also feeling nautious, could this affect my baby?

Can ask one's doctor: A mom usually continues breastfeeding when she has a cold, the flu, or a stomach virus. She can wear a face mask and should wash her hands and arms before handling her baby. She should try to avoid passing germs to her baby during the first 5 days of her illness, a few days more if she has persistent ill symptoms. Her doctor can evaluate to see if antiviral or antibacterial medicine is needed.
