Question
One-year-old child has a cold and cough, worried whether it can be transmitted to the breastfeeding mother.
Answer
A child with a cold and cough does not necessarily transmit it to the mother, but if the mother has a severe cold with coughing, it is possible to transmit it to the child. It is recommended that the mother take the child to have blood tests to check if anti-infection treatment is needed and to stop breastfeeding.
