Regards! Breast feeding even during fever is highly recommended. You may please clean wipe the area before every feed and use a mask during feeding. Cows milk is highly contraindicated

Hi, breast feeding is recommended. No need to stop it. If you are having any other symptoms use mask so that baby can't be infected from you.

Next Steps

Continue breast feeding, prevent exposure.

Cowmilk some times can lead to adverse affects like cow milk protein allergy(CMPA) etc. Try to avoid it.
