I'm so worried I'm going to get Brady sick! It started yesterday with feeling all achy...then last night I had the chills and then night sweats. I think it's just like a 24 hour flu thing cause I'm starting to feel a little better just no energy. But I'm nursing Brady and now I'm freaked out that he's going to get sick! He's still so small! I mean should I pump and restrict close contact with him? Or is the damage already done and now I just need to wait and see if he gets it?? Sorry I know this seems like a panic post over something small I just am so careful right now with him because he was early and I don't want anything to happen...

    actually it is best if you can keep nursing him when you are sick. He will get antibodies from you that will help him fight off sickess

    Yuck... I'm so sorry.  I don't have any additional advice, but wanted to tell you that I hope you feel better and that LO does not get sick.

    Ok thanks! I haven't stopped nursing just trying not to be so close when I'm not right now. I kinda thought it would be better to just keep nursing him I just wasn't sure. Thanks again!

    Kellymom says the best thing you can do for your baby is continue to breastfeed.

    Unless my pedi tells me something specifically different, that's what I would do.
