Does baby get sick?

Question

If I'm sick.. Will my baby get it cuz I'm bf?

Answer

No. The breastmilk protects baby from getting sick.

Answer

So far I've gotten very sick twice (requiring trips to urgent care) since returning back to work at 12wks pp (guess living in a bubble for 3 months messes your immune system!) and my daughter has not gotten either. I'm chalking it up to breastfeeding.

Answer

Your baby should get the immunities from breastfeeding not the illnesses. Of course she could get it just from being around you but definitely keep breastfeeding

Answer

I had a cold and my 3 week old baby did get it, but she probably would have from just being in the house with me rather than actually breastfeeding. 
My doctor said to continue breastfeeding as it will help her recover more quickly.
