Breast milk remains the best nutrition for infants 🤍
“Even if the mother has the flu, breast milk remains the recommended source of nutrition for the infant. Breast milk contains antibodies and factors which boost immunity that can help protect infants from flu. Additionally, infants who are breastfed are less vulnerable to infections, including severe lower respiratory illnesses, than infants who are not breastfed.” https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/hcp/illnesses-conditions/flu.html
