Your baby may get the cold too, but he will be exposed reguardless of whether or not you breastfeed. And if he does get the cold then he will need your breastmilk and the antibodies it contains to help fight the cold.

By the time you realize you have a cold, the baby already has been exposed to it. Its actually better to keep nursing.
Be very careful with medicines you might take. Anything with sudafad will dry up your milk! Use other remedies that don't pass through to the babies milk!
Lots of rest! Put daddy in charge of everything else!

Keep nursing. Breastfeeding will actually give baby antibodies to whatever you have and help to prevent baby getting ill. If baby does get ill, it will most likely not be as bad as what you got.
Remember that you exposed your baby to your cold before you ever had any symptoms. Make sure you wash you hands a lot.

you want to avert a decongestant, like Sudafed, because some women human beings (no longer all) have referred to an major relief of furnish. Use a saline spray, a steam remedy, the Breath proper nostril strips, and different non drug concepts first. there are a selection of treatments on the link below on nursing and having a cold.

Your baby was getting the antibodies to fight off the cold before you knew you were sick, the baby was exposed to the illness before you knew you had it........My baby is five months and breast fed, i have had three colds and she has not caught one of them yet.

It shouldn't. I still breastfed my daughter when I had the flu. She never got sick.
