Abstract
Breast milk is the best food for infants. However, worrying about the transmission of pathogens to their offspring, mothers who have ongoing infections are usually hesitated on breastfeeding, or even unwillingly give up breastfeeding. This article summarized some basic knowledge and evidence on breastfeeding when maternal infections occur and emphasized that there is no risk of hepatitis virus transmission during breastfeeding. After taking appropriate measures, mothers with transmittable diseases through breastfeeding can still breastfeed their babies. This review provides reasonable medical advice on whether to breastfeed when maternal infection occurs in order to increase breastfeeding rate.
Key words:
Mothers; Communicable diseases; Breast feeding
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine was founded in May 1998. It is one of the journals of the Chinese Medical Association, which is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by Peking University First Hospital. Perinatal medicine is a new discipline jointly studied by obstetrics and neonatology. The purpose of this journal is to "prenatal and postnatal care, improve the quality of the newborn population, and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants". It reflects the new theories, new technologies, and new progress in perinatal medicine in related disciplines such as basic, clinical and preventive medicine, genetics, and sociology. It aims to provide a window and platform for academic exchanges, information transmission, and understanding of the development trends of domestic and foreign perinatal medicine for the majority of perinatal medicine workers in my country.
