[tannembaum]

.....is your breastfed baby poorly??

 

[pianobex]

mine has just had a cold - 1st in 8 months and she has never needed to go to doc.

 

[Mrs Muffin]

He's had one cold the other week.

 

[Rach27]

One mild cold so far.

 

[MandaAnda]

Mine's just getting over his first cold.

 

[MrsQ]

nothing yet and he is 8 mnths!

 

[Tacey]

Since she was born she's had 2 colds (although one of those was post jabs, so I think it was connected), german measles and an abscess. I love being able to breastfeed through them though as it feels like I'm giving her medicine!

My LO has just had her 3rd 'cold', when I say that though, it's literally been 48 hours (max) of mild sniffles and the odd cough and splutter. Not full-on colds with loads of snot, hacking cough, sore throat etc.... unlike her poor mum

 

[Seity]

Not so much as a sniffle yet.

 

[Scooby12345]

one minor cold.

 

[snailien]

1 mild cold that somehow turned into pneumonia

do you think my milk is rubbish?

 

[emera35]

1 mild cold and a bad reaction to his last set of jabs (which was horrible, but not technically an illness in my thinking,as he didn't catch it)

 

[Eve]

1 cold, which wasn't that bad, and she felt pretty darn good for being stuffy nosed

She was sick to her tummy once (threw up once, big one though) but it was from the heat.

My youngest son is only 4 weeks so not been ill yet. But I breastfed my first son for 3 months.. he is now 2 years and 1 month.. in total since being born he has had a viral infection once.. which lasted 3 days. other than that he has had normal colds but he has never been ill with anything else. he seems to be ok around kids who are ill and doesnt seem to catch alot of it im hoping my youngest follows the same route.

My poor little Daisy has been very unlucky with her health. She was admitted to hospital for a week with suspected meningitis at 5 weeks old and has also had a serious chest infection where she had to go for chest x rays, an ear infection and a really bad case of mumps. The mumps was awful. Her little face swelled so much and she was so sore that she clawed at her face until she was covered in scratches. My poor little flower .

 

[tannembaum]

Aww I'm sorry your LOs have been poorly but I'm glad my LO isn't the only Bf baby thats been poorly. thanks for the replies

Almost never. Both girls attendance at school is usually perfect and they've never had more than a rare mild cold, chicken pox and tummy ache.
