Absolutely do NOT stop- you most certainly can BF while you are sick- even with the flu. BM is not like other body fluids such as saliva and phlegm- it doesn't pass on infections.
Hope you feel better soon!!!

BFing will pass on your immunity - keep feeding!
Just wash your hands a lot and wear a mask if you're really concerned...

You definitely should continue bfing. Your milk has antibodies that will help prevent your baby from getting sick.
Her is one article I found about it. http://www.kellymom.com/health/illness/mom-illness.html

Do not stop! Breastfeeding is the best thing you can do for DD. You will pass antibodies to her through your milk.
