I recently seen on the news how pregnant women who get flu shots pass the antibodies onto their unborn babies so they are protected when they are born. You always pass on your antibodies when you nurse also. That why breastfeeding is the best!!!

Yes, you should pass antibodies to anything you are exposed to on to your baby.

I think that youwill pass some of it through breastmilk- babies get their first antibodies from the breast milk so it stands to reason that you'll pass something through :)

flu-shots do work. but dont have it while you are breastfeeding your baby. it may have an affect on the anti-bodies of your baby
