A member asked:

Im on my period & i breastfeed my 6 month old. well somehow period blood got on my breasts.yes i know gross but is my daughter in any danger from this?can she get sick

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: Some kids would have some indigestion or spit up if there is enough blood to trigger the response. However, what you describe should not be a problem. Babies digestive system breaks down any ingested germs.
