I was down....having flu now and start to get serious. Should I still breastfeed the twins while I;m having the flu virus? Will the milk carry the virus for my twins?
Yes, you should keep breastfeeding, in fact you will have to if you want to maintain your milk supply. Don't worry, your milk will not carry any virus, so your baby is safe. However, if you're sneezing and coughing, I suggest you put on mask when you're breastfeeding/handling your babies to avoid infecting them.
