Vaccinations after pregnancy should include any you did not get before or during pregnancy.
For example, if you did not have an MMR vaccine before you were pregnant, research shows
you can get one while breast-feeding, as your child will not be infected or will feel only a weak
effect.
"Although rubella vaccine virus might
be excreted into milk, the virus usual-
ly does not infect the infant," accord-
ing to drugs.com. "If an infection does
occur, it is well tolerated because the
viruses are attenuated. No clear evi-
dence exists of live attenuated mea-
sles or mumps vaccine virus excretion
into breastmilk."
Ask your doctor about other vaccines
you may need, and remember to vac-
cinate your child according to CDC
recommendations as well.
