My 7 month old and I both have Covid. I am continuing to breastfeed but also needing to pump some to keep supply up. If I freeze that extra milk (expressed while Covid positive), is it safe to give him later on? My ped wasn’t very helpful and directed me to CDC website which didn’t answer my question so wondering if any mommas here have been in a similar situation.

Yep! Antibodies will pass through breastmilk but COVID is not a blood-borne pathogen so it will not be in your breastmilk.

Ah, that makes sense - thank you!!

I would think so right? Your body is fighting an infection and hence producing antibodies that your breast milk will contain. This is great for the baby even later on.
One of our donor moms expressed milk specifically when she had Covid and gave me antibody rich milk for my baby 🥹

D1, yes, I couldn’t produce milk at all and solely survived on donor breastmilk until my son hit 1! Forever grateful to them 😊

Yep safe. I have no evidence except that I had severe food poisoning w vomiting and diarrhea for 2 weeks when baby was 1 month old, fed him throughout and literally nothing happened to him, he was happy throughout.

Hey all,

My baby is measuring very big but doesn't seem to be coming on her own, so doctor wants to induce around my due date (I'm 39 weeks pregnant now).

Feeling a sharp tinging pain in left lower abdomen. It’s my first trimester. Have my OB visit next week, but between then and now has anyone encountered it?
FYI - I had something similar before I got pregnant. Was on vacations and planned to get it checked on return but it went away by the time I returned so never got it checked.
