Something you ate made you sick - will it make baby sick also if breastfeeding?

I am just woundering , if you went out somewhere to eat and you got food poisining do you bring the baby you're nuring to the hospital? will the food that you ate made you sick??

The food that gave you food poisoning will not make the baby sick via breastmilk, just be careful to keep hydrated, dehydration will decrease your milk supply

Nope. If you bring him to the hospital it would only be because your wait will be so long he would miss a feeding if left at home.

Nope it wouldn't hurt the baby.

no it is safe to still breastfeed i just went through something simular !!! just keep your fluids up!

Food poisoning will only get into your breastmilk if you become septic (the infection moves to your blood). This is rare.

Yes you take the baby with you, any decent hospital will insist on not separating a nursing dyad and any non-decent hospital can get the LLL, the press, human rights tribunal, and everyone else in the d*&^ yellow pages on their a$$

If mom has food poisoning, breastfeeding should continue. As long as the symptoms are confined to the gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps), breastfeeding should continue without interruption as there is no risk to the baby. This is the case with most occurences of food poisoning. If the food poisoning progresses to septicemia, meaning the bacteria has passed into mom's bloodstream (mom would most likely be hospitalized), see this guidance from Dr. Ruth Lawrence:

"Maternal infections of the genitourinary or gastrointestinal tract do not pose a risk to infants except in the rare circumstances when septicemia occurs and bacteria might reach the milk. Even in this event, continued breastfeeding while the mother receives appropriate antibiotic therapy that is compatible with breastfeeding is the safest course for the infant. If the infecting organism is especially virulent or contagious (e.g., an invasive group A streptococcal infection causing severe disease in the mother), breastfeeding should continue after a temporary suspension during the first 24 hours of maternal therapy. Prophylactic or empiric therapy for the infant, against the same organism, may be indicated." [source: Lawrence RM & Lawrence RA. Given the Benefits of Breastfeeding, what Contraindications Exist?

The best thing you can do for your baby when you're sick is to continue to breastfeed. When you have a contagious illness such as a cold, flu, or other mild virus, your baby was exposed to the illness before you even knew you were sick. Your milk will not transmit your illness to baby, but it does have antibodies in it that are specific to your illness (plus anything else you or baby have been exposed to) - they'll help prevent baby from getting sick, or if he does get sick, he'll probably not be as sick as you.
Withholding your breastmilk during an illness increases
the possibility that baby will get sick, and deprives baby
of the comfort and superior nutrition of nursing.
