I'm sick today, for the first time since giving birth.  I wonder whether the whole breastfeeding has boosted my immune system somehow; nI kept skating on the edge of things, but this is the first time I've fallen through into full-blown illness.  I don't know whether I have what Doug has, or whether I have what one of the hundreds of people on the ( Read more... )

Eesh. Sick is icky. Feel better!

I hope you feel better soon! I do think breastfeeding helps with immunity -- both for you and Joy.

Hope you can take it easy and rest some, drink fluids, etc.

Glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope the wheezing turns out to be the end of the sickness and not bronchitis. How is Joy? Sounds like she has not gotten it?
