Breastmilk is the most precious food for babies, and many new mothers are concerned about their health condition to be able to breastfeed. Colds and fevers are the most common ailments during breastfeeding, and many new moms want to get rid of them as soon as possible through injections. Can you get a shot while breastfeeding and will it affect your breastfeeding? Can you still breastfeed? Let's find out next.

If you have a simple cold or fever during breastfeeding, it is generally recommended that you take oral medication, because WHO recommends that you should not inject orally or intravenously, and you should not take more than one medicine if you can solve the problem, and you can produce autoantibodies in your body during the period of a cold or fever, and the antibodies can be passed on to your baby through breastfeeding, so you can continue to breastfeed during the period of a cold or fever, and you don't need to pause the breastfeeding process. If you need to take injections for other complications caused by a cold or fever, you need to distinguish the type of medication to be used. If the doctor gives you penicillin or cephalosporins, you can continue to breastfeed and breastfeeding will not be affected. If you are using other medications, you need to consult a specialist and tell the doctor that you are currently breastfeeding. If you are sure that you cannot breastfeed, you can use a breast pump to express and remove the milk to maintain lactation. The flu here is the common cold, not the flu (influenza). The flu can be prevented, and the flu vaccine is the most effective measure to prevent the flu every year before the flu season, and the flu vaccine is also recommended for mothers, as it does not interfere with breastfeeding, and antibodies can be passed on to the baby through breast milk to produce passive immunity.

Colds and fever, new mothers do not need to be too anxious, only need to wear a mask to avoid transmission to the baby, usually pay attention to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and breathe more fresh air.
