BFing and getting sick...
Isn't it true that if DH has a cold, and I don't get it, than DS won't get it either b/c he has the same immunities as me since I am BFing?
I thought I read this some where, but cant find where.
TIA!!

I don't know if that's true, but Ds would probably have a lower likelihood of catching it because of the BF.

And I think that he's not as likely to get as strong a version of it too.
I hope he stays healthy

I have found that everytime this year Josh has been sick(twice), I have also been sick. He is never sick without me.

it's true, your body starts making antibodies before you even realize you're sick, and the baby then gets all of them, sometimes before he's even exposed.
dh recently had a cold. i got a milder version of it, and ds got an even milder version than me. it made me feel really good about breastfeeding
