Does anyone know how long you have to wait before you can breast feed your baby after you have gotten Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease? I was told that your in the highly contagious state for the first 14 days but you can still be contagious by the things you secrete from your body for 6-8weeks. I just contracted HFM from either my son or my Fiance, they both have it, & my baby is due by induction in 4 weeks.
