Question

Can a mother with Hepatitis B ’ surface antigen+ ’ breastfeed her child?

Answer

Hello! It is recommended that you check your HBV-DNA levels and have your child vaccinated against hepatitis B. After vaccination and antibody production, you can breastfeed. There is no clear evidence that hepatitis B can be transmitted through breast milk. If you want to ensure safety, it is best to opt for artificial feeding.
