nursing while sick

for the last few days ive had a crappy behind the eyes headache, my body hurts, im coughing. i took my temp and it was 102.4.

is the flu or just my body adjusting? and if its the flu what are the chances of lucien getting sick.

You should go to the doc to make sure you don't have a uterine infection. If it's the flu, he is getting antibiodies from you, so you should not stop nursing. Your body will protect him.

how's your boobs? could you be getting a breast infection? Same thing happened to me three weeks after Liam was born. No sleep, clogged ducts made me feel like I was runover by a semi.
hope you feel better soon,

Try a warm wet cloth on your boobs when not in use LOL That will make it feel better.It worked for me.
