Adult Whopping Cough Booster while Breast Feeding????

[Rosey]

What are you hoping to learn from that question? I'm not trying to antagonise you, it's just that you just sound uncertain and I wonder if you have thought about why the booster bothers you and what information would help you.

Your right I am a little uncertain. I'm uncertain about having the vaccine in my body while breast feeding my cherub. While she will be vaccinated this just feels different. I guess I was just wanting some comfort in the fact other Mum's vaccinated while breast feeding. I will voice my concerns with my Doctor though.

Perhaps you could ask your doctor to provide you with information showing that having the vaccination and it's ingredients added to your body while BFing has been proven to be safe. And make the distinction between 'proven safe' and 'not found to be harmful'.

It's understandable to be worried. I had some trepidation about requiring a tetanus booster at 39 weeks pregnant with DS (thanks cat) so discussed the pros and cons with my doctor before having it done. I also had the WC booster about 2 weeks after giving birth, neither caused any problems for either myself or DS

The Boostrix is Whooping cough, Tetanus and Dipheria all in 1 injection.

It is routine to offer in hospital to all mums after giving birth nowadays. And a large % take up the offer with no side effects.

For some reason they gave me just a straight tetanus shot after the cat bite while pregnant, hence later then needing to confirm if I could even have the WC one as it would repeat the tetanus component within a very short timeframe.
