Can children eat breast milk with giant cells?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Because the exclusion rate of CMV in breast milk is about 13%-27.3%, there is still a chance of infection when the baby is breastfed. After all, CMV infection in breast milk is an important factor for postnatal infection, and the mother also needs to be treated. Wait until the treatment is complete before deciding whether to breastfeed.
