Breast feeding and swine flu jab
Hi
I have been lurking for some time but not actually posted. My little one is 20 months and still has one breast feed in the morning. I have been invited for my swine flu job as I have asthma, I know going for the jab has to be my decision but has anyone found any info on the jab and breast feeding. I am keen to continue with this feed for another couple of months as she was two and a half months prem and picks up bugs and infections very easily and I am sure being able to feed her helped her get over her recent bout of tonsillitis quicker than she perhaps would have done.
Any info gratefully appreciated
Thanks

(although you may have already made your decision by now).
Another idea would be to ask David Salisbury in tomorrows webchat about Swine flu and the vaccine.

"Can I breastfeed if I am being vaccinated?
Once the vaccination becomes available information will be provided on this. With the type of vaccine being developed there is unlikely to be any problem and continuing breastfeeding is likely to be recommended for mothers being vaccinated. "

ask ur gp or hv for clarification tho, and as golednshades says there is a swine flu webchat here tomorrow from 1.30pm i think xx
