Mom is sick... is it okay to nurse baby?

"If you become sick with a "bug" while nursing, don't fret about spreading the sickness to your child. Amazingly enough, white blood cells appear in the breast milk on the fourth day after the mother is exposed to the illness - cells her body has created specifically to eat that bacterium or virus! Thus your milk will give your child a specific antidote for the illness you are worried about. (This sickness-healing sequence obviously works better if the mother gets sick first. Fortunately, most times, mothers are "considerate enough" to do so.)"
