Yes...by the time you have it the baby has been exposed. BF helps them get over it quicker too.

YES...the antibodies in your milk will prevent the baby from getting the same virus.

yes, the baby will be passed the antibodies through your milk which may not prevent her from getting sick but it will prevent it from being as severe.
