Impact vaccines have on breastfeeding mothers and their babies

Looking to human milk for new answers as it pertains to the COVID-19 vaccine, Dr. Lars Bode, UC San Diego Professor of Pediatrics and Director of Collaborative Human Milk Research, says there is a lot of vaccine hesitancy within the breastfeeding community. "We want to make sure that women who breastfeed, don't have to decide between if I take the vaccine, do I have to stop breast-feeding, or if I continue breastfeeding is this really good for my baby?” Dr. Bode said. Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation of Switzerland gave emergency funding to do the study for the Mother-Milk-Infant Center of Research Excellence also known as MOMI CORE. "There is no data on safety as breast-feeding women were not included in any of the trials for the vaccine, as always, we are trying to protect these women from research, but really we should include them in the research to make proper recommendations,” he said. Dr. Bode says breastfeeding mothers make antibodies, which could be transferred through the milk and then benefit the infant as well.
