pumping while/after being sick....

I just got over the "stomach flu". was sick all day yesterday and better today. I didn't pump yesterday at all because I was dehydrated. But today, my boobs really started hurting so I'm pumping now. Do I dump? I feel kinda guilty about dumping so much milk, but i don't wanna risk making my baby girl sick. DS and I got it back. DH and DD seemed to escape it somehow.

Nothing like that should be able to be spread to your DD via your milk.

It's full of antibodies and can help her avoid it. It will not make her sick. There are VERY few illnesses passed through bm and they are basically the huge scary diseases lik HIV.

Yep, I'd definitely give it to her!  It's probably the best thing for her to have right now with everyone having been sick.
