Should women with flu-like symptoms or H1N1 flu breastfeed their babies?

If possible, only adults who are not ill should care for infants, including providing feedings. If you are ill and are breastfeeding or giving your baby infant formula, you may wish to ask for help from someone who is not sick to feed and care for your baby. If you are breastfeeding, someone who is not sick can give your baby your expressed milk.

You may continue breastfeeding even if you are taking anti-flu medicines. If there is no one else who can take care of your baby while you are sick, try the following: • Wear a face mask when you are feeding or caring for your baby. • Be careful not to cough or sneeze when you are close to your baby.

• Wash your hands frequently. • Use a cloth blanket between you and your baby during feedings. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
