שלום אסתר
I hope you can help me. I'm breast-feeding my 8 months old girl, and it is going wonderfully. I suffer from a chronic autoimmune disease, which is now in remission (not active, though the antibody level in my blood is a bit high). I do not take any drugs at the moment. I read yesterday in the Hanaka forum that there might be a problem with breast-feeding to women who suffer from autoimmune diseases, because of the antibodies transferred in the milk. Is this so? I'm a bit worried… I have never heard of this before, and I wonder if I shouldn't breastfeed my baby from the beginning… Thank you in advance for your answer. Maayan
