Other considerations for breastfeeding

1. Can mothers with hepatitis B breastfeed?
Breastfeeding and artificial feeding babies have the same proportion of hepatitis B infection. Breastfeeding will not increase the risk of hepatitis B infection in babies born to hepatitis B mothers. This is because babies born to hepatitis B mothers develop hepatitis B infections in the uterus or during delivery rather than during breastfeeding. The World Health Organization still ranks breast milk as the safest food with the lowest level of hepatitis B virus and the lowest risk. As early as 1997, it clearly stated that there is currently no evidence that breastfeeding of hepatitis B mothers increases the chance of infant infection, and recommends all hepatitis B mothers Breastfeeding.

2. Is breast milk not nutritious when the aunt comes?
So far, there is no evidence that there is any change in the quality of breast milk after menstruation. Mothers who have been menstruating should continue to breastfeed but should use non-hormonal contraception. Hormonal contraceptive methods containing estrogen or progesterone will indeed change the composition of breast milk and reduce milk secretion, so it is best avoided.
3. Can I continue breastfeeding with a cold and cough?
You can continue breastfeeding if you have a cold or a fever. But it should be noted that mothers must wash their hands before breastfeeding, and wear a mask when breastfeeding to avoid infecting the child. If the mother has a high fever of 38.5 degrees or more and it persists, she should stop breastfeeding and treat it first. The mother can drink some ginger onion soup, or cold-clearing particles, which will not affect the baby.
