Breast Feeding When Mom Feels Sick (or has COVID!)
Between sleep deprivation and putting the needs of others before their own, it’s pretty common for moms to get sick. And it’s common for me to get questions about breast feeding when mom feels sick. I’m not surprised by these concerns. There’s not one answer for everyone, but here are my thoughts:
Should I breast feed the baby if I’m sick?

Sleep Blues: How to change your quantity and quality of sleep

Improved sleep has been linked to improved health in many ways. The evidence is clear that those who get plenty of sleep have a lower risk of being overweight, of being depressed, of being sick, of being injured, and that kids have better attention, better mood, better behavior, better grades, better standardized test scores – and a better quality of life overall.
