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.

What are the disadvantages of breast feeding?
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.

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.
