Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi. i need help. i have measles for 4 days already. i m afraid i passed it on to my 1 month old son through breastfeeding. what medicine will i give to my baby and is it safe to continue breastfeeding? if not, when can i resume breastfeeding? Thanks
It is not safe to breastfeed the child while you are having active measles. Because measles can spread from skin contact to baby. You should express your milk and then give the milk to baby for around 1 week.
