Is She Sick Of Breastfeeding? Here's An Expert Explanation

YOGYAKARTA Mother's milk is the best food for the baby until at least the age of MPASI. But what if the mother is sick and breastfeeding her baby? Under certain conditions, it is best to continue breastfeeding, but there are exceptions.

Breast milk also contains antibody that helps the baby fight disease, either a mother's disease or a disease experienced by the baby. Another reason to stay breastfeeding even though the mother is sick, as explained by Dr. Ann Kellams of the Academy of Breastfeading Medicine.

According to Kellams reported by Huffpost, the body sends a signal to produce less or more breast milk according to the calibration of how much breast milk your baby consumes. After delivery, usually only produces a little, but in the end, breast milk production will adjust to the amount your baby consumes.

When we are sick, we are all used to the idea of self-isolating to protect others. In the condition of breastfeeding mothers, it is most likely that germs of disease carriers have reached the baby. According to certified lactation consultant Catherine Watson Genna explained. Obviously, when the mother has symptoms the baby has been exposed. So before starting to feel sick, the body not only begins to make antibodies to fight the disease, but also begins to spread it.
