Subject: Hep C question
Hi everyone.... you might remember around
August last year I sent out a request for my friend (J) with regards to her
sister who had Hep C (among many other problems). Well I have yet
another question. This woman is due to have her baby at the end of March
& was told at one of her last antenatal visits that she will be able to
breastfeed her bub. She is very excited about this as it is something
that she had wanted to do if safe for bub. BUT is it safe? I
thought I remembered that you were not able to feed if you had Hep C.
Has something new come up in recent times to say that it is safe even if she
wasn't still using IV drugs (not sure if this has stopped).
Thankyou for considering yet another one of my
questions.
