Is it safe to get an allergy test (skin testing) while breastfeeding?

Allergy skin testing while breastfeeding is safe for both the mother and the baby.

Dr Dosanjh and another doctor agreed

The reason for the testing should be determined. Allergic symptoms often include respiratory conditions including asthma. There is an option for blood testing available. Testing may be completed while breastfeeding. Continue to breastfeed since this confers good protection against infection, allergic conditions .

Dr Kuitems agreed

You don’t neeD to have allergic substances inserted into your skin. You can have a blood test that is comprehensive for many different types of allergens, the RAST test administered by your ENT/Allergist.
