ExpertDr. Swapnil SaxenaAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. breast milk should never be boiled first of all
Mother's milk is complete food for the baby . The initial portion is watery that takes care of hydration and the later portion that is creamy and rich in facts will provide then necessary nutrition. So there is no need to give even water . Try to exclusively breastfeed the baby for first 6 months after birth.
Author of questionMom of a 3 yr 7 m old boy3 years agoA. I understand all that. But as I am suspected to have viral hepatitis b virus and I am getting all my tests done, my doctor is suggesting not to breastfeed the baby directly for the time being. I am worried now as I feel once I start using bottle, my baby might not feed directly later on as he will be used to of bottle. Also pls let me know if anyone has any idea about spreading of this virus thru breastfeeding.
