Hello, I'd like to have a baby and I breastfeed, but I have hepatitis C (since birth)! Is there a risk of contamination with milk? Our mother had when she had us .. but it is only I who have contracted, we all three were breastfed! To avoid contamination in utero I'll go through the medical route for procreation! Your stories are welcome! Thank you in advance. PS: Please do not judge me thank you thank you thank you thank you .. I feel better, what a relief! I dream of breastfeeding but I do not want to put my baby in danger. Thank you again
You can breastfeed without concern I had hepatitis C, now recovered but still carries I nursed my daughter. What you can not do is give your milk to a milk bank. My daughter was born premature and it was no problem as I was well on the contrary, the service hatched well reassured me that my milk would not contaminant for my daughter.
On the website of the Ministry of Health, he said "There is no evidence that the risk of transmission of HCV in children is increased by breastfeeding. The two recent consensus conference, American and European, (d Meeting 'experts)-cons do not indicate breastfeeding when the mother carries the virus C. "talk to your gyne, your general information and why not you on the forums of mothers in this case? Good luck for your decision !
Ooh there's really tricky … I advise you to contact the League Leache: http://www.lllfrance.org/ They hold meetings on breastfeeding, and also you can contact a host of your area that can certainly help you because your case is not rare, but not common either. Anyway, I wish you a wonderful pregnancy and a bb in great shape.
