Accepted Answer

Hello dear parent! Few medicines are required to be taken for COVID which might not be suitable for breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor for any change in the medication or seek assistance on whether to continue breastfeeding or not. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day.

Answer

I am also in the same situation, please tell how did you managed your breastfeeding baby with fabiflu?
