Steve0979: HBV transmission does not occur through breast milk, making it safe for infants unless there is a risk of contact HBV-infected blood. All infants born to HBV-infected mothers should receive hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. The second dose of vaccine should be given at age 1–2 months, and the third dose at age 6 months. The infant should be tested after completion of the vaccine series, at age 9–12 months to determine if the vaccine worked and that the infant is not infected with HBV through exposure to the mother’s blood during the birth process. But mothers with cracked or bleeding nipples should stop breastfeeding and another means of feeding the infant should be considered until their nipples are healed. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
