Can a pregnant woman breastfeed at 38 degrees?

Fever is a very common disease in daily life. Many people have experienced fever. Everyone knows that fever is a very uncomfortable thing. Normally, people with fever will choose to get injections and take medicine to get better quickly, but mothers cannot take medicine indiscriminately during illness, and fever has an impact on both the mother herself and the baby. So, can a mother breastfeed at 38 degrees? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

How high is the fever during breastfeeding and why you should not breastfeed? If a breastfeeding mother has a cold and fever, she can still breastfeed as long as the fever is not persistent and she is not very physically exhausted. Because children have inevitably come into contact with the bacteria carried by their mothers in daily contact and have developed certain antibodies against them, mothers can still breastfeed their babies with confidence for common colds and fevers, but they should pay attention to drinking plenty of water to prevent the milk from concentrating and causing diarrhea in children.

Generally, when doctors in regular hospitals learn that you are breastfeeding, the medicines they prescribe should be safe for you to take. The medicines taken by breastfeeding mothers, especially those with stronger properties, will be transported into the breast milk through the plasma-milk barrier. If you continue to eat such milk, it may indeed have an impact on the child's health.

Drink more warm water. There is no need to stop breastfeeding. Don't be afraid even if the fever has not subsided. You can breastfeed your baby when the fever is low (between 37.3 degrees Celsius and 38.0 degrees Celsius), but not when the fever is high above 38.5°.

Mothers who ask whether a mother can breastfeed when the temperature is 38 degrees need to note that the quality of breast milk during lactation will affect the development of the baby. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, breastfeeding should be stopped, and the mother should see a doctor in time to implement relevant fever-reducing measures and try to avoid taking medicine. Especially those with strong medicinal properties will be transported into breast milk through the plasma-milk barrier, which may affect the health of the child.
