A member asked:

I am sufering from hepatitis a. my total bilirubin is 2.9. sgot is 120. sgpt is 280. is it safe to breast feed? do i will transfer the hepatitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Physicians and scientists agree that it's safe for a mother infected with viral hepatitis to breastfeed her baby. Considering that the american academy of pediatrics is such a staunch advocate of breastfeeding, this will be good news to many who are worried. In fact, they promote breastfeeding as the best possible way for good health and development.
