These is opinion based, no bashing other answers please! Lets say you have two kids, a toddler and a newborn. Lets say your toddler got really sick some how and started losing weight. Now besides the doctor helping and other high calorie foods. Also I should mention that your toddler was never breast-fed and your newborn is currently breast-feeding.Would you give your toddler your breast milk to help him/her gain weight and give her more immunities?(in a sippy cup not by breast) What if the only option was your milk? What so you think?

you have enougfh milk for both kids, and may have to give some formula to the newborn. Breast milk is fine to havewhile child is sick as it's easy to digest for the person that said milk is not good when sick. I think you thinking about cows milk, then yes, don't give cows milk when child is throwing up, human milk and cws milk are alot diff.

Yes I would do what ever would make my child better. But first I would talk and consult more than one doctor to make sure that it was alright and if they thought it would work.

That sounds like a good idea, if the toddler will drink it. Sure couldn't hurt. Actually, giving a kid milk from a cow sounds a lot weirder than that does.

yes I would give the child breast milk if I knew that would help, I would have no problem giving the new child formula, there is nothing wrong with that

If you think people are going to judge you then let them....if it helps your child then what does it matter what ppl think. Just do it.....hopefully the toddler will drink it. Hope your child gets better. Good Luck.

point out to her which you spotted she ignored classification and say which you wish she wasn't sick. This leads an commencing for her to describe why she wasn't there. you may even say which you're happy she's returned. This we could her understand which you like her and if she likes you too, she'll experience flattered by utilising the compliment. as quickly as you refer to her slightly, you could ask her if she has a boyfriend and if no longer, then ask her if she needs to circulate out to a action picture (or dinner, or luch) it sluggish. If she says no, then you extremely understand she isn't involved. good success on getting the girl!

If my toddler was really sick ( vomiting, nausea etc), the last thing I would give is milk.

My newborn wouldn't be breastfeeding. Makes no difference to me which child is which...I would choose to NOT breastfeed period therefore it is a moot point.

No I think once they hit a certain age (approx. 1) should not longer be breast feed just my opinion.
