There are very few contraindications to breastfeeding. The main one that exists is having a baby that is diagnosed with classic galactosemia (a rare condition in which the baby cannot digest one of the sugars in breast milk).
While breastfeeding is usually encouraged when kids have a stomach virus, even if they are vomiting, there may be times when your child is hospitalized and so ill that they won't be able to breastfeed. Pump during these times to keep up your milk supply. Once your child is no longer getting intravenous fluids, you should be able to start breastfeeding again.
