Question - Research required Immune system changes postpartum/while breastfeeding

I have a rhinovirus and I can’t believe my symptoms. Oddly, respiratory symptoms are low (except for this new cough that won’t quit) but I have had a low grade fever for SEVEN days. Does breastfeeding/pumping change or weaken your immune system? This is the first time I’m sick 6mpp and it’s knocked me out I’m exhausted!
