3wo has cold - advice?

[miraclemomma]

So my 3wo ds2 has got a stinking cold! He is feeding, little and often, don't think he's eating nearly as much as normal. Will this affect my supply? Should I be pumping to keep it up?! Xx

Pump if you need to to help yourself, if he's not feeding like normal thats what I have done. That should help to keep your supply going as well. ( but my LO was 9 months when he got his first cold )

My 7 week old is just finally getting over her cold after just over a week. I didn't pump cos I didnt want to take any milk out that she mite decide she feels like having. It didn't affect my supply and if your lo is feeding little but often I think it should be fine.

Try putting her in an upright position - this can help her breathe through her nose better. Syringe the gunk out of nose before latching can help, too.
