That's all the more reason you SHOULD pump, so you can give your antibodies to your child
. There are a couple of situations where you shouldn't, according to the CDC:
If the mother...
Has been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Is taking antiretroviral medications
Has untreated, active tuberculosis
Is infected with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I or type II
Is using or is dependent upon an illicit drug
Is taking prescribed cancer chemotherapy agents, such as antimetabolites that interfere with DNA replication and cell division
Is undergoing radiation therapies; however, such nuclear medicine therapies require only a temporary interruption in breastfeeding
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.
