Can people with hepatitis B breastfeed?

Patient's question:

Mother has hepatitis B virus carrier, breastfeeding to one year, should we wean early or continue normally until over one year?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, as long as the child has hepatitis B antibodies in their body, it interferes with breastfeeding. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital to get tested for the five hepatitis B items. If protective antibodies are produced, there is no need to worry about infection. In addition, during the treatment of hepatitis B, in addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from hepatitis B.
