I'm not entirely sure what is being asked here, but there are infections that a breastfeeding mother can contract. Most common are thrush and mastitis. Thrush is a yeast infection that can be passed from mother to baby and back again. It occurs on the mother's breast(s) and in the baby's mouth. If both mother and baby are not treated until the infection is gone, they will continue to re-infect each other. Mastitis is a bacterial infection of the breast and can occur in one or both. It does not affect the baby or the breastmilk. It requires treatment in the form of an antibiotic, and it will get better much more quickly if the mother continues to breastfeed or pump.
Both of these infections make breastfeeding quite painful, but both are treatable.

Both human newborns and newborns of many other mammals, such as puppies or kittens, are heavily dependent on their mothers for survival. They rely on their mothers for essential nutrients through breastfeeding, warmth, and protection. Additionally, maternal care is crucial for emotional and social development in many species. This dependence ensures that the young receive the necessary support to grow and thrive in their early stages of life.
Symptoms are persistent and frequent infections, diarrhea, failure to thrive, and malabsorption (of nutrients).
'Athletes Foot' is an example of a fungal infection that can thrive in the moisture between a persons toes.
Kittens learn important behaviors from their mothers such as grooming, hunting, socializing with other cats, and using the litter box. These skills help them survive and thrive as they grow up.
The only time breastfeeding could be possibly bad for a child is if the mother is not healthy. A breastfeeding mother can pass on some infections to her child thru nursing. Also if the the mother does not have a nutritionally sufficient diet she may not be able to give her baby enough milk to grow and thrive. However if that is her situation, it would be most likely that formula is not available either. But without doubt, for the vast majority of the world's population, there is no substitute for breastfeeding. Mothers, by nursing your children exclusively for the first six months of their lives and continuing to breastfeed them for the next six months or more will immeasurably enrich their lives for years and years. P.S. The only one who really gets hurt by breastfeeding are the formula factories.
Ringworm on the skin is caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. These fungi thrive in warm and moist environments, leading to infections on the skin.
Fungal infections are primarily caused by fungi, which can be found in the environment, on the skin, and in the body. Factors such as a weakened immune system, antibiotic use, diabetes, and poor hygiene can increase susceptibility to these infections. Fungi thrive in warm, moist areas, making conditions like sweaty clothing or damp environments conducive to their growth. Common types of fungal infections include athlete's foot, ringworm, and candidiasis.

The bacteria that cause sinus infections belong to the kingdom Bacteria. This kingdom encompasses a wide variety of prokaryotic microorganisms, including those that can lead to infections in humans. Common bacterial culprits for sinus infections include Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. These organisms thrive in the human respiratory system and can lead to inflammation and infection of the sinuses.
Mycoplasma are a type of bacteria that lack a cell wall, making them parasites that can infect animals and plants. They are known to cause various infections in humans, such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections.
Bacterial Vaginosis and yeast infections often go hand-in hand, it's very common to have both infections at once. Your vagina is acidic to kill 'bad' bacteria and help the 'good' bacteria (such as the bacteria that help keep yeast under control) thrive, if your vaginal pH is off-balance it's normal to develop overgrowth of 'bad' bacteria and as the 'good' bacteria is reduced yeast is also allowed to thrive.
