Re: Breastfeeding while she has a cough.
Also, and this isn't really the point of your post, but there isn't really any reason to avoid dairy if your sick. It's sort of an old wives tale that dairy thickens mucous, etc. So I hate to pile on, but your DH is starting from a point of false knowledge and then applying that falsehood inappropriately.
