A member asked:
Does semen get through to your breastmilk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I suppose you could paint it on the breast and get it there that way. However, you are not going to ingest it and pass it into the breast milk. Like any other ingested material, it is broken down during digestion into its components and converted to those needed for the milk.
