Vaccines and breastfeeding:

(RedBook 2021-2024, CDC 2023,  2011 & 2000, CAV-AEP 2019, Taylor 2019, Sachs 2013, Raney 2012, Chen 2010, Schmidt 2004, Pickering 1998, Pabst 1997)

Vaccines are compatible with lactation, both live attenuated microorganisms and killed, inactivated or formed by parts or toxoids of the same or generated by recombinant technology.

They do not pass into milk, except for rubella, which does not usually infect the infant or only mildly, and do not cause problems in infants, except for yellow fever in infants under 6 months of age. 

Breastfeeding may improve the antibody response of vaccines and cause fewer side effects such as fever or anorexia. 

Immediate postpartum is the best time to vaccinate measles-rubella-mumps and varicella in women who were not immunized.

Breastfeeding women can and should be protected with the recommended vaccines as other adults.

Breastfed infants should be immunized according to the appropriate immunization schedule.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
