Sick mom and breastfeeding.
DS is 10 months old and I am exclusively pumping. Today I got the stomach bug that's going around and I have a fever. Is it ok for me to give him what I pump? Or do I pump and dump?
Thanks.

It is fine to give him what you pump.

Re: Sick mom and breastfeeding.
You can absolutely feed your baby when you are sick. (I know easier said than done when you feel like crap.) I fed both babies through every dang bug I got, DS for 12 months, DD for 21 months. I pumped through it all too. Feel better mama!

It's actually best to do this--they'll get the antibodies your body created against the illness!

I had a stomach bug on Tuesday night-Wednesday and I continued to nurse DS.
