Question
A mother who did not carefully check her liver function during pregnancy was diagnosed with hepatitis B minus before delivery. There are different opinions about whether the baby can breastfeed. The child has been born for over 40 hours, and the whole family is confused about this issue.
Answer
Hello, it is possible to breastfeed, but you should pay attention to keeping the nipples clean and avoiding any breakage. Scientific research shows that hepatitis B antigens are not present in breast milk, so it will not affect the baby. It is recommended to wash your hands before breastfeeding and maintain hygiene. As long as you pay more attention to the baby’s care, there should be no problems.
