When does illness in mum start affecting the quality of breastmilk?
Any ideas?
I've had a tummy bug for 5 days now (diarrhea not vomiting). I have been to the Dr and waiting results and in the meantime I am eating 3 smaller than normal meals a day, drinking lots of water and from yesterday, taking electrolytes. I am also exclusively breastfeeding a 10 week old baby. I know it hasn't affected the supply much (not full to exploding each morning but still seem to be providing milk when necessary.
But does anyone know if 5 days of diarrhea will affect the quality? Baby seems unaffected at the moment.
Just wondered...
