Patient's question:
I am 34 years old, and my baby is now four and a half months old. I breastfeed my baby every day. Today, when I took my baby out for a walk, I accidentally caught a cold. Then, after feeding my baby with breast milk, I noticed that my baby felt a bit nauseous and vomited. Hello, what should I do if a breastfeeding mother catches a cold and her child has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, in this case, if the nausea and vomiting symptoms of the mother and child are not severe, it is recommended that the mother drink more water and eat more high-calorie, high-protein, and nutritious foods. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm. When the child is nauseous and vomiting, they must drink more fluids to prevent dehydration caused by excessive fluid loss. Try to use formula instead of breastfeeding for a few days.
