I know this may sound crazy, but when I breastfed my daughter, I never got diarrhea. So now that I'm getting it (probably from something I ate), should I pump and dump until my symptoms have gone away or is he safe? I just don't want him to suffer the same way I am.
pump & dump is a myth. only time it's effective is when it's done for comfort. everything that is in your milk supply passes at the same time it leaves your blood. that being said when you are sick still breast-feed. chances are if you have it baby probably does too & even if baby doesn't you will give baby the antibodies it needs to get baby anyways.
