While breast feeding, it is certainly possible for a mother to get an infection in her breast. The breast is usually hot and painful to the touch. It is not dangerous to nurse your baby with an infection, and it is actually recommended that you nurse more frequently. http://www.breastfeedingbasics.com/html/breast_infections.shtml

What are the importance of breast feeding in nursing students?
Not just nursing students, but all people involved in medical education should spend more than a little bit of time in study of the importance of breast feeding and how their role in medicine might help nursing mothers and their children. Breast feeding should be taught not as just an optional part child care, but as the expected course of action. In this way, long term breast feeding will become the cultural norm. It is the duty of health care professionals to seek out the very best for their patients. Without doubt, breast feeding is the very best for babies and their mothers.
Can you have your cat spayed while she is nursing?
This is not advised because the surgery site will be in between the left and right mammary chains where the kittens are nursing. Having nursing kittens constantly nuzzling around the surgery site increases the risk of surgical site infection and the surgery site not healing properly. However, it is technically possible provided you are ready for the task of after-surgery care.
