Suggest Treatment For Cough And Vomiting In Babies
My husband and I have the flu - temperatures, body aches, dizziness etc. I am currently breastfeeding our 10 week old baby and we've just noticed today that he is coughing a fair bit. He doesn't have a temperature but he is moaning in his sleep which is unusual. He has also vomited a couple of times today. Should we be worried?

Hello. Welcome. At this age this symptoms are normal and should not posses any risk. As i Lactation Consultant i would suggest you to breastfeed your baby as much as you can because even if he has the flu your anti-bodies found in your breast milk will heal your baby and make him feel better. If the baby shows others signs such may be: diarrhea, temperature, more cough or runny nose go and visit your pd.
