    If you have a cold while breastfeeding, you can continue to breastfeed, because the cold is not transmitted through breast milk, but through droplets. If the mother has a cold, it will not have any effect on the baby's breastfeeding, but on the contrary, it will pass the immune factors in the breast milk to the baby, so that the child can enhance his resistance.

    Mothers can breastfeed their babies as long as they don't take medicine after they catch a cold during breastfeeding. Because before you show the symptoms of a cold, your baby has already been exposed to the cold virus through the milk, but at the same time the baby has also acquired antibodies to the virus in breast milk.

Therefore, mothers with colds should pay special attention not to exhale to the baby, and do not kiss the baby, it is best to wear a mask to prevent the virus from entering the baby's body through saliva, causing the baby to catch a cold.

    Under normal circumstances, as long as the mother rests more and drinks some cold powder or banlan root powder, the cold can get better quickly. However, if the situation is serious and you want to take cold medicine, you need to clearly tell the doctor that you are breastfeeding, so that the doctor can prescribe the right medicine, so that the prescription will not affect the secretion of milk, and can also avoid the drug ingredients in the cold medicine from entering the baby's body to affect the baby.

    Therefore, it is possible to breastfeed the child with a cold during breastfeeding, but wear a mask when feeding, try not to hold the baby, and even if you want to hug, you must wash your hands to prevent the cold virus from invading the baby, but if you have fever symptoms, you can't breastfeed.
