So, cold and flu season hit my family full force last week. The baby was sick for a week and the other three of us for several days. As a result, I am late on posting last week's BellaOnline Breastfeeding Article. To make up for it, here are two articles (last week's and this week's together!) on Nursing and Illness, which will hopefully be as timely for you as they are for me. And please check out and contribute to the Breastfeeding and Illness thread in the forum -- the link is below the articles.

Here's the latest two articles from the Breastfeeding site at BellaOnline.com.

-- Nursing a Sick Child --
