Medical Video: Breastfeeding Position and Latch
As a mother, you certainly want to continue to provide exclusive breastfeeding to ensure that your child's growth is always optimal. However, what if you fall sick, for example getting a tip?Maybe you feel anxious and afraid to transmit the infection to your child through breast milk. Actually, can you breastfeed when you have typhoid?
What causes typography?
Typhoid (typhoid fever) is an infectious disease caused by food or drink contaminated with bacteria Salmonella typhosa. Food and drinks can be polluted due to cleanliness when processing food that is not good, for example, dirty cooking places or people who process food do not maintain their personal hygiene. This makes food and drinks very easily contaminated with bacteria that cause typhus.
Nursing mothers when typhus, am I safe?
Although this disease makes you sick, you don't need to worry and don't stop breastfeeding your child. Because, until now there has been no scientific evidence that states that typhoid can be transmitted through breast milk. So, it doesn't matter if you breastfeed when typhus (typhus).
Instead, breast milk is the best food for babies. Mother's milk contains nutrients needed by the little one. In fact, breast milk also contains antibodies from the mother that can make the little one immune from various infectious diseases that lurk.
A newborn baby actually does not have an immune system so he is very susceptible to disease. Therefore, breast milk containing maternal antibodies can maintain health and prevent diseases affecting the child, including typhoid disease.
Although not transmitting, breastfeeding when typhoid can drain the mother's energy
Indeed breastfeeding when typhoid does not endanger the health of the baby, but the most likely thing to happen is the weakened condition of the mother so that it is more difficult to give milk Usually, infectious diseases such as typhoid will cause symptoms such as fever, dizziness and diarrhea. These symptoms will then prevent the mother from giving milk to the child. Especially if the mother has diarrhea and is not treated properly.
Diarrhea experienced by the mother can reduce the amount of milk production because at that time you will experience a lack of fluid (dehydration) and ultimately affect breast milk. Therefore, make sure that when you experience diarrhea, increase fluid intake and consult a doctor immediately so that it can be treated further.
Don't forget to consume lots of fruits and vegetables that contain lots of vitamins and minerals. When diarrhea, lots of minerals and vitamins are lost so you should immediately replace it, because the nutrients you get will also be given to the little suckling.
