how do we get hepa b?isit treatable?if the mother with hp does the baby got it through breast feeding ?

Answer 1

Infection occurs when blood or body fluids (serum, semen, vaginal secretions, saliva) from an infected person enters an individuals blood stream, through broken skin or mucous membrane

or from an infected mother to her baby during birth

Yes. A safe and effective vaccine is available. This vaccine, along with safe lifestyle behaviors (see Prevention Section), is an easy and simple way to minimize your chance of getting hepatitis B.

The following groups of people should get vaccinated:

All babies, at birth
Anyone 18 years of age and under
Persons whose jobs expose them to human blood or body fluid (health care or public safety workers)
Anyone at risk (see Risk Factors Section

Answer 2

From the World Health Organization, "Examination of relevant studies indicates that there is no evidence that breastfeeding poses any additional risk to infants of HBV carrier mothers. The use of hepatitis B vaccine in infant immunization programmes, recommended by WHO and now implemented in 80 countries, is a further development that will eventually eliminate risk of transmission."

And also, "Breastfeeding has been suggested as an additional mechanism by which infants may acquire HBV infection, because small amounts of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) have been detected in some samples of breastmilk. However, there is no evidence that breastfeeding increases the risk of mother to child transmission. A follow up study of 147 infants born to mothers known to be carriers of HBV in Taiwan (4) found similar rates of HBV infection in 92 children who were breastfed compared to 55 who were bottle fed. A study in Britain, involving 126 subjects, also showed no additional risk for breastfed versus non breastfed infants of carrier mothers (5). This study included the measurement of HBeAg status of the mothers, but found no association between maternal e-antigen status and transmission rates. These findings suggest strongly that any risk of transmission associated with breastmilk is negligible compared to the high risk of exposure to maternal blood and body fluids at birth. Experts on hepatitis, however, do have concerns that breast pathology such as cracked or bleeding nipples or lesions with serous exudates could expose the infant to infectious doses of HBV."

Answer 3

I don't ask for a pat on the back and I exclusively breastfeed my son. I personally don't care how anyone chooses to feed their child, as long as their child is healthy and well fed. I think some people are just insecure in their mothering skills (and we all are to some degree) and look for validation in others. Now I have had people praise me for breastfeeding, but not on Y!A, and I didn't ask for their praise. They just asked if I was breastfeeding, and when they found out I was, they praised me. Praise is nice, but if you go looking for it, then it's not really praise, now is it?

Answer 4

Breastfeeding is tricky. It isn't fully known what can be passed from mother to baby while breastfeeding.

Until you are treated, it is best to pump and dump, then breastfeed once the infection is treated.
