Yes, you can continue breastfeeding even when you are sick, as breast milk contains antibodies that help protect your baby and reduce the risk of infection. Just take some precautions:
- Wash your hands well before touching your baby.
- Wear a face mask if you have a contagious respiratory infection.
- Avoid coughing or sneezing near your baby.
- Make sure the medications you take are safe during breastfeeding.
