Can people with hepatitis B breastfeed?

Patient's question:

My hepatitis B two pairs and a half test results are positive for items 1 and 5. Can I breastfeed?

Doctor's answer:

If your child has already been infected with the hepatitis B virus, then breastfeeding is possible. Generally, vaccination starts at 7 months of pregnancy, and the child can be protected from hepatitis B infection. If the child is healthy, breastfeeding should be avoided. For patients, if the liver disease condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
