Question
Dear expert, a 22-year-old mother wants to know if the C13 test will affect the quality of breast milk.
Answer
Helicobacter pylori primarily resides in the stomach and has no effect on the fetus. Similarly, chest X-rays during early pregnancy have minimal impact on the fetus and do not cause harm. As for milk storage, it is recommended to seal the expressed milk in a baby bottle or milk storage cup and securely close it. Milk stored in the refrigerator should not exceed 48 hours (avoid placing it on the side of the refrigerator door), while frozen storage can last up to three months.
