Patient's question:
Breastfeeding with a fever of 38.1°C? I've been feeling weak all over and have a headache. Will it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello, during a mother's fever, the quality of breast milk often declines as well. Fever is also often the body's defensive response. You need to observe if there are any other uncomfortable symptoms, such as a cold, diarrhea, pneumonia, etc. If there are, it's best to seek timely treatment to prevent the fever from lasting longer. During treatment, you should express milk on time and make sure to empty the breasts to promote milk circulation and avoid engorgement.
