Yes! You can breastfeed when you’re ill. In fact, continuing to breastfeed helps protect your baby because your body produces antibodies and other immune factors that pass through your milk. These help your little one fight off the same illness or reduce its severity. Breastfeeding while sick also supports your own health by preventing engorgement and maintaining your milk supply, which can be disrupted if feeds or pumping sessions are skipped.

Breastmilk feeding is not researched as much as it should be. I like to share any research studies that help researchers understand more about the work that goes into feeding a baby. No external funding is involved in this study.

Hi, I’m Diane DiTomasso from the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing. We’re studying how women use breast pumps to establish milk supply. If you’re over 18, gave birth to a healthy full-term infant in the past year, and used a breast pump to help bring in your milk supply, we’d love your input!

ALL ByHeart Formula has been recalled. More information: https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-infant-botulism-infant-formula-november-2025?fbclid=IwY2xjawOBqy1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBSQVhHS29pbG1RZFQzcndVc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHlFgh3YK9QdKkAaDOuU5XknIEfOliTJzkc2Lm2wf8gSxm4CL82kT4OVoFPn4_aem_ePiGHklXZQ5Ol4DQSHJBxg

My heart is breaking for the families who trusted this brand to nourish their beloved babies. Reminder that medically fragile and premature babies who receive formula feedings, should always be using ready-to-feed formula (sterile, but unfortunately much more expensive)

Do not use recalled ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. FDA’s Investigation is ongoing.

In response to a broader FDA Investigation, ByHeart initiates a voluntary recall of two batches of infant formula. https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/response-broader-fda-investigation-byheart-initiates-voluntary-recall-two-batches-infant-formula
