Fever 100.4

Hey, my preemie has been in NICU (32 wks gestation) for 2 weeks. I went and saw him during his touch time at 8am, but my husband handled him so I didn't touch him. After getting home about 11:30am, I started to get chills and achiness like the flu and my temp shot up. I'm pumping milk, is it safe while I have fever? And is Tylenol safe while pumping milk to lower my temp? I'm going to call NICU in a few mins and ask them.

    Your milk is perfectly fine...it will actually contain extra immunities if you are sick. Tylenol is fine to take while pumping. Hope you feel better quickly.

    Yup, what PP said - your body makes antibodies for LO to fight whatever you have. The biggest downer is that it will keep you out of NICU :( I'm so sorry! I hope it passes very quickly!
