I'm sorry.  I did misunderstand.  But as Atlantisea, you can continue to breastfeed.  It will not hurt your baby.

Don't stop breastfeeding your baby.

It doesn't affect the baby when you are sick.

Just don't take any medicine without checking with your doctor first!

I would say yes.  I have never been told no matter what was wrong with my baby to stop breastfeeding.  But I would continue to take your vitamins and that may help with the low iron.  I'd also call your Pediatrician just to be sure.
