Kind of help needed: Hello, do you think I need to separate from the baby in this situation? Will it be contagious to the baby? If I take medication, can I still change the diaper? What medication should I take? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Ladies, under normal circumstances, if you have a high fever during breastfeeding, it is important to promptly identify the cause. If it is not an infectious disease, you can change the baby's diaper. However, medication should be taken promptly. Medication will not interfere with the baby's breastfeeding, and taking medication will never affect the baby. The above advice is for the question "Can breastfeeding mothers change diapers when they have a high fever?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
