Question

My child just turned one week old, and if I stop breastfeeding, will the child’s immunity be affected? I’m also a diabetic. Focusing on breastfeeding might cause my blood sugar to rise, so I’m in a dilemma. Should I wean or not?

Answer

Dear inquirer, based on your description, due to your health considerations, you may not be able to focus on breastfeeding. In this case, you can choose artificial feeding to meet your baby’s growth and development needs. You don’t need to worry too much. I hope the above suggestions can help you resolve your concerns. Wishing you health and happiness every day.
