It could be lactose intolerance. But for me I feel bad after eating a bowl of ceral then drinking the milk. I have to do this fairly quickly those times. So that is my problem. If you feel sick when you drink milk you should consult a doctor.

It would not make the infection worse but it might make you feel a little worse. It has been long reported by cold sufferers that when they drank milk it seemed to increase their production of mucus and make them feel more stuffy and congested.

A Mayo Clinic report backs this with the following information:

Phlegm is the thick, sticky mucus that drips down the back of your throat when you have a cold. Although drinking milk may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be, milk doesn't cause your body to make more phlegm. In fact, frozen dairy products can soothe a sore throat and provide calories when you otherwise may not eat.

Many people suggest dairy is fine, but you might want to increase your clear liquid intake along with it so the thickness of the mucus is not as noticeable.

Another reason not to drink milk before bed is that it is a contributor to development of dental cavities when left coating your teeth and mouth overnight.

As long as you are no taking any medication that may be harmful to your baby (ask your doctor or pharmacist) you should continue to breastfeed if you are sick. Your baby will see the benefit of this because you will pass on precious antibodies to your child as your body fights your illness, which gives your child a much better chance of fighting off the illness themselves should they contract it.

well you should try to stay away from milk because it is already hard to digest and if you have a cold or something it will make it harder to breath out your mouth, so it healthier to drink orange juice or something else other than milk when you are sick

An Australian study was actually done in volunteers to address this question. It showed that people drinking lots of milk had no more nasal mucus than those not drinking milk.

Well, while it wouldn't hurt, it's best to get plenty of vitamins while you are sick. Try to substitute soda with juice.

i heard it's not recommended, especially if it's warm or hot milk. But, ice cream is a better solution.

Can breast milk from another mother be given to a baby whose mother is sick?

Certainly! Up until our recent modern times, this was a common practice. As along as the mother giving the baby breast milk is healthy, one mother giving her milk to another child, presents no problem. While of course the best nutritional value comes from the baby's mother as her milk will naturally change as the baby's needs change, any breast milk is better than formula.


Can drinking spoiled milk give your baby a fever?

That is always a topic of dispute. If milk is not taken out from the breast, the mother can get acute mastitis due to stagnation of the milk. That can be serious problem. Baby may get some what ill due to breast feeding. But then, baby may not accept the top feed. So it is more practical to continue the the breast feeding. Top feeding is given to compliment the breast feeding, if baby does not get enough breast milk.

Which is better for newborns breast or bottle milk?

Breast milk is better. It is more natural, safer, healthier, free, easily digested, and it is always available. If you bottle feed, it is very expensive, not safe, not healthy, can lead to ear infections, mothers get tired a lot, and if the bottle is dirty the baby can get really sick.

Why breastfeeding is the ideal food for infants?

Breast milk is the only food tailor made for infants. It is natural for mammals to nurse their young not to feed them formula. Breast milk changes with the baby needs over time unlike formula that stays the same. Breast milk also contains antibodies to build babies immune systems which formula can not do. This is why formula fed babies generally get sick far more often then breastfed babies.

Is it ok to drink breast milk of your partner?

In general, yes, unless she has any disease you could contract or if she's taking medication you should not have. However, breast milk is for the baby--so it's not appropriate to consume breast milk until after the baby has nursed. It is OK to do this if the child is getting enough milk to thrive. The additional stimulation provided by the mother's partner will help encourage her breasts to produce additional milk. The suckling by her partner will also serve to draw the two together emotionally as they embrace physically.
