Question
My 10-month-old baby has had diarrhea followed by a fever, and now that the fever is gone, the baby is not feeling well and keeps wanting to take naps. For the past two days, there has been no diarrhea during the day when breast milk was not fed, but there were three episodes of diarrhea after being fed breast milk at night. Can I still breastfeed my baby?
Answer
In this situation, I believe you should not stop breastfeeding because the baby is still going through vomiting and diarrhea. If you completely withhold food from the baby, it will consume a lot of energy, which is difficult for such a young child to bear. I hope this advice is helpful to you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
