I felt a little rough yesterday, and I woke up today with what I guess is a rather nasty cold. I can live through it, but is there anything I can do to keep LO from getting it? I read that BFing will give him antibodies to whatever it is I have. Is that true? I can't not be around him, so I don't really know what else to do.

I would certainly continue, unless you discover you have something that is incompatible with bf, whatever that would be. Here's a link:

Thanks! That's good to know! I am miserable, but Austin seems to be just fine so far.

We went to the Aquarium yesterday, and Jonas brought home a fever.  I've been nervous that Jules will catch whatever bug Jonas is fighting off, but so far so good.  My antibodies have kept him safe thus far.  Thank goodness for breastfeeding!
