can my baby get sick if i have a cold
pediatrician. Under most circumstances, the answer is yes. If you have a standard cold, flu, or stomach virus â even if you have a fever â it's fine to breastfeed. In fact, you probably exposed the baby to your illness the day before you began showing symptoms.f your only choice is to go on a medication that's not compatible with breastfeeding, you can pump and dump your milk while you're on the medication. This will keep your milk supply up, and you can offer your baby stored breast milk or formula in the meantime.
