Adult cold can affect the baby who is breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

My daughter is 5 months old. Since I had the baby, my body has been quite weak. Every time I feed her or get up at night to feed her, if I catch a little breeze, my nose runs, and I have a lot of phlegm! Is this a disease?

Doctor's answer:

If it is confirmed that the child has avian flu, it is best to avoid breastfeeding, as this can easily lead to the child being infected and affect their health. Currently, it is important to get tested first. If it is a common cold, breastfeeding can continue. However, if it is avian flu, the child needs to be hospitalized as soon as possible and isolated to ensure a complete cure and prevent the spread of the infection to the child and others.
