Brief Answer:
Yes breastfeeding should be continued

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You should continue feeding your baby and it is completely safe as you having a UTI will not affect the baby even while breast feeding. Make sure you drink plenty of oral fluids to prevent dehydration and aggravation of UTI.
