Breastfeeding usually should be continued, because the rate of abscess formation in the infected breast goes up steeply among women who stop breastfeeding during a bout with mastitis.

Can you breastfeed while treating a vaginal bacteria?

Yes, definetely! These are totally separate areas of the body. If a doctor gave you oral antibiotics, as long as they are compatible with lactation; you should continue breastfeeding. There are plenty of antibiotics that are safe while breastfeeding, so there is no reason why you couldn't continue to breastfeed. You should always let your doctor and pharmacist know you are breastfeeding so they will consider this with your prescription.

When is a child too old to breast feed them?

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for AT LEAST 6 months and thereafter to continue breastfeeding alongside appropriate complimentary foods at least until the age of 2 and thereafter for as long as both the baby and mother wish to continue. The notion that children should stop when they have teeth is completely fallacious, as babies commonly break teeth by even three months or sometimes even earlier - a time when all medical organizations in the world recommend EXCLUSIVE breastfeeding. The world-wide average age of breastfeeding cessation is 4 ½ years. Continued breastfeeding will boost a child's immunity, until the child's immune system is fully developed, around the age of 6 years. There are significant health risks associated with NOT breastfeeding.


What is Breast Mastitis How save is it to feed a baby with this breast when the mother has cold and fever?

Mastitis is inflammation of the mammary gland (the breast). It is probably not a good idea to breastfeed your infant while you have mastitis, as there may be bacteria or other pathogens in the milk produced by this breast. You should probably talk with your OB/GYN as soon as possible, since mastitis can not only affect the baby but can also have significant health impacts on you.
