Starting training and having your baby get sick is genuinely a tough dilemma. Here, the priority should always be your baby's wellbeing: if there are symptoms like fever, weakness, trouble breathing, or vomiting, it's best to take a break from training and focus on recovery. When a baby is sick, both immunity is down and learning capacity drops — pushing through won't help.
On the other hand, if baby only has very mild symptoms like slight nasal congestion and is hungry and energetic, you can keep going with a lighter, shortened version of the routine to avoid completely disrupting it. The key is reading your baby's signals: no forcing, rest comes first. Once recovered, you can pick up where you left off — a few days' pause won't be hard to overcome.
