Vaccines do not reduce the quality of breast milk
There is no evidence that breast milk becomes less safe after vaccination. American researchers came to this conclusion.

Some time ago, a study appeared on the Internet that found some trace amounts of mRNA of coronavirus vaccines in the breast milk of mothers who had been vaccinated. The authors of this study suggested that as a result, breast milk becomes unsafe for babies. But scientists from the United States argue that there is no convincing evidence in favor of this assumption. It is not known what the authors of the study proceeded from when they stated that babies can be harmed by breastfeeding from mothers vaccinated against the coronavirus.

On the contrary, vaccinated women produce antibodies and even some immune cells that recognize coronavirus in breast milk. And this provides some protection for babies. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommends that breastfeeding mothers get vaccinated. These recommendations do not mention that breast milk can somehow suffer after vaccination.

Scientists create antibiotic from breast milk

Regarding that study, the authors did indeed detect mRNA for vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna in breast milk samples from several women. But this number was negligible, and it was detected only within 48 hours after vaccination. All this does not increase the danger of breast milk even by a fraction of a percent. (READ MORE)
