If you’re worried about spreading germs to your baby, here are some tips:
Wear a mask while breastfeeding.
Whenever you feel the sudden urge to sneeze or cough and there are no tissues within reach, do it into the crook of your elbow – never your hands!
Keep some hand sanitiser on you at all times, and wash your hands with soap regularly – especially before and after feeding.
If you’re really not up to breastfeeding, especially overnight when you need your rest, then pump and refrigerate your breast milk and let someone else (such as your partner) take over with a bottle feed. The Pigeon GoMini Double Electric Breast Pump is the perfect pump for any situation – it’s compact, lightweight and comfortable so you can pump and get right back to resting.
