I wouldn't enless  you are prepared for a few sleepless nights. Anytime you swtich a baby's milk it might upset there tummy and cause a belly ache you. Really shouldn't enless you plan to breastfeed the rest of the time. And ya when I was sick and breastfeeding my doctors said it was fine to continue breatfreeding beacuse your milk has antibodies in it.

Anytime is good to breastfeed, especially if you are still producing. You might still have to give formula along with breastfeeding that way your body can build up your milk supply. But from my experience/personal knowledge, I'd say it's ok =)
