1. Wear a mask when feeding: If you don't know how to wear a mask when feeding, it is easy to transmit the virus to your baby through the air. Therefore, if the mother has a cold, she must wear a mask to isolate the air, and wash her hands well before feeding, so as to minimize the infection of bacteria.

2. Avoid contact with the baby: During the cold period, try to contact the baby as little as possible, on the one hand, for the baby's health, on the other hand, the mother can recuperate more, take care of her body, in order to better take care of the baby.

Is breastfeeding a cold contagious? No, of course, breastfeeding a child with a cold will not be transmitted to the child.

Generally, no, but the mother should wear a mask during the feeding process, and usually wash her hands frequently to minimize contact with the baby.

We often see patients with colds in our daily life, which can cause a series of symptoms such as dizziness, cough, runny nose, sore throat, etc., which will have a very serious impact on the patient's life. But there are still many people who don't know much about colds, and don't know if they will be transmitted to their babies through breast milk after a cold, so we should usually learn more about this aspect so as not to affect the child's body.

Many people will have the symptoms of a cold in their lives, which will have a great impact on their lives and seriously endanger their health. Especially for lactating mothers, after getting a cold, it may be transmitted to the baby through the respiratory tract, so we must pay attention to this situation to avoid adverse effects on the child's body.

So can colds be transmitted to babies through breast milk? The disease of cold is mainly caused by the invasion of germs into the upper respiratory tract, under normal circumstances, it will not be transmitted to the child through breast milk, but it can be transmitted to the child through the respiratory tract, so lactating mothers must wear a mask when breastfeeding their children to try to avoid infection of the disease. If the mother takes the relevant medicine during the cold period**, then it is best for us to suspend breastfeeding, because the drug is likely to enter the child's body through breast milk after being absorbed by the body, which will have an adverse impact on the child's health.

So what should breastfeeding mothers do if they have a cold? Lactating mothers should not take it lightly after a cold, because it is not only related to their own physical health, but also has a great impact on the baby's physical health. If the cold is more severe and requires medication**, then it is best not to touch the child and not to breastfeed.

However, if the symptoms of a cold are not severe and do not require medication**, then we can breastfeed the child while wearing a mask. And the mother should pay close attention to her physical condition, regularly measure her body temperature, if the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, then you must go to the hospital in time for treatment, because this will cause very serious harm to the body.

All in all, breastfeeding mothers will not transmit it to their babies through breast milk after a cold, but it is likely to cause respiratory infections, so it is best to wear a mask when breastfeeding our children to avoid the spread of diseases. If the symptoms of a cold are severe and you need to take medication**, then it is best for the mother to suspend breastfeeding, because the medicine is likely to enter the child's body through the milk, which will adversely affect the child's health.

Hello. There is a possibility of being infected, the mother does not have a fever, and wears a mask to breastfeed to prevent the baby from being infected.

The mother's cold is transmitted to the baby, not through breast milk, but through the mother's nasopharyngeal secretions, droplets, aerosols when speaking, the child has a respiratory infection. Therefore, the mother should isolate the cold from the baby.

The method of isolation is that the mother lives in one room and the baby is in another space. When the mother wants to feed, take a bath, change into clean clothes, wash hands, wear a mask, and then contact the baby, and after feeding, the mother and the baby are separated. Mothers try to drink as much water as possible, pay attention to rest, and wait until the cold symptoms basically disappear before they can be with the baby again.

Many mothers do not pay attention to maintenance during breastfeeding, resulting in their own colds, and many people feel that after they catch a cold, they will infect their children with colds, so they dare not breastfeed, so is this practice correct? In fact, this practice is not correct, if you have a cold and in the lactation period, you do not need to stop feeding, because the mother has a cold, the body will produce the corresponding antibodies, and through the milk feeding to the child is antibodies, on the contrary, you can avoid the child cold, at this time choose to continue feeding, is the most beneficial protection for the baby.

And generally the cold is caused by the virus, and the virus is generally transmitted through the respiratory tract, if the mother has already had various symptoms of a cold, at this time it will be easier to pass the virus to the child through droplets, this is if, immediately stop breastfeeding, the child has a significantly increased chance of getting a cold, because the mother's body by the milk excretion of antibodies can not be obtained.

However, in the process of mother's cold, there are many drugs that can reach the child's body through breast milk, so you should follow the doctor's advice when using drugs during lactation, and be sure to tell the prescriber that you are breastfeeding, such as some types of antibiotics, which can affect the child. If the child unfortunately has a cold, it is important to go to the hospital, and the mother and the child together**, because a large part of the medicine can be taken by the mother and absorbed by the child using breast milk.

The most important thing is that during the illness, you must pay attention to rest and make your physical and mental health, in fact, the flu virus is very mutated, and the effect of most medications is not very obvious. Therefore, if the condition is not too serious, eat more fresh fruits, drink more water, and you can recover on your own in about a week. During a cold, many mothers feel that they cannot breathe, so it is good to choose a way to breastfeed in a way that is comfortable for you!

In fact, the important thing is not how to catch a cold, it is to be able to effectively prevent it before a cold, many mothers after having a child, they will focus on the child, without taking into account their own health, such behavior is not right, because when the child is young, most of his nutrition ** comes from the mother, so if the mother is sick, the child's nutrition will not be very good for a long time. More importantly, during the illness, the mother's mood will also affect the child, although the child does not understand, but the environment given to him by the mother, he is very sensitive. This requires the baby mother to learn to regulate her mood and reduce her mental pressure during breastfeeding, and then match a certain amount of physical activity or exercise to improve her own immunity and spend the lactation period comfortably.

Yes, it is because some of the cells in the mother's body are infected, and if she is breastfeeding the child, she will also be infected.

I don't think it can be transmitted to your baby, but you must also be aware that if you don't take precautions, you can also pass it on to your baby, so you must wash your hands before holding your baby every time, wash your hands with hand sanitizer, and wear clean clothes.

Personally, I think it will, because the child eats breast milk, and when the mother has a cold, the body has a certain virus, so it will definitely be transmitted to the child.
