Covid: It is that they will test positive and your 7 year old already has mild symptoms. Children appear to tolerate Covid much better than . Treat symptomatically (acetaminophen,ibuprofen for fever ), hydration. Continue to breast feed.

Per the CDC: : If you have COVID-19 and choose to breastfeed: Wash your hands before breastfeeding. Wear a mask while breastfeeding and whenever you are within 6 feet of your baby. REF: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/pregnancy-breastfeeding.html ** Recommendations on this matter have changed since pandemic first began.
