A member asked:
Does my baby absorbs the antibodies from my rabies vaccine through breast milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not protective amnt: Most of the antibodies in breast milk are IgA, which are designed to shield the gut from ingested germs. The vaccine triggers IgG which fights germs directly regardless of their source.It passes in small amounts in breast milk but not enough to consider protective.
