Breastfeeding when ill

[mermaid]

I have had a cold the last couple of days and I'm struggling to even hold Finley as I feel so bad. It is really hard to hold and feed him, especially through the night. I have tried expressing milk though my supply is low with being ill. I know only I can breastfeed baby but it sure is hard when you're ill and getting no sleep! I know, I'm always moaning these days lol!

I would be tempted to get into bed with your little man and stay there! Feed him lying down!

hope you feel better soon

Poor you; there is nothing worse than feeling ill when you have a little one to look after.

I agree with Lyndsey; get into bed and feed Finley laying down.

Hope you feel better soon

i agree with lindsey too. take it easy and watch a film in bed or something get well soon.
