    Yes Anitha, I agree but I am not able to sit down and give him bath as my stitches are yet to be healed. Also the reason we had the servent maid is my mom was not keeping well in the initial days. Once his head position stands and i go to my MIL place, i shall take over. Anyways i wld be getting a bath tub this weekend for him...

    Sudha,

    Thanks for the assurance.I will continue BM only.

    Girls,
    I'm unwell...Having slight temperature and body ache.I'm damn scared to feed LO as i fear she will catch infection.My mom n granny was only having her through out the day and put her to sleep too..I fed her thrice from morning..

    Is it an issue to feed LO when we are unwell??? Please help out girls....

    Please do feed your baby even when you are unwell. Your body will be making a lot of antibodies to fight against the invading bacteria/viruses. This will be passed on from you to your child through breastmilk and she will get the benefit of your immunity. Take care of yourself, hydrate yourself well... Feel better soon.

    It is not someone.. ITS ME !!!

    Ladies -
    I called my doctor aunty immediatedly reading this info and asked her if I can do that..

    She said I can bf if I have ONLY light cold/cough/light fever but STRICTLY NO if we have any high fevers..


    My only concern is though we have any sickness its always better to double chk with ped twice/thrice & then feed our own LO's(that's my only concern for all dear ladies) :hiya. For some reason once I felt little body temp one day and I wrote in a paper - sick day and pasted on my LO's bottle and stored in fridge and didnt feed him that.. May be am so scared since am having a preemie
