Anyone breastfeeding had the vaccine yet?

Just wondering if you had any side effects and if baby showed any signs of it affecting them. I'm likely to be offered it through work soon and have a 3 month old.

I had oxford astrazenica on Friday at 11.50am also bf my 19month old boy very often. He had a runny nose, was unsettled temperament and an off tummy. Slight temp too. I had fever, off tummy, painful arm, headache and achey body. Recovered well from it and glad I had it done but wish I had been more prepared for my son being ill x

Had my second vaccine the other day and bf my 21 month old. No issues and im hoping my antibodies have made their way to him!

@BungleandGeorge

I’m surprised those on maternity leave are being done already,
Friend of mine on mat leave has been done too though she's doing a KIT day this Saturday so has been quite well timed for her.

I had AZ this week. I felt really rotten all the next day but still fed 3 year old DS. The NHS are not advising breastfeeding mothers to avoid the vaccination so I happily had it.

Pfizer. Bf. All ok so far. Only had first dose a few weeks ago. Bf wasn’t even on the form.

I definitely felt a bit more nervous but I think that’s due to the lack of information. There is a study analysing breastmilk samples pre/post vaccination. You need to be within an hour of London.

Yep I had Pfeizer two weeks ago, am breast-feeding my 6 month old.
I felt a bit rubbish the next day, zero effects to baby. Having researched it I was satisfied there is no reason it wouldn't be safe to have whilst breastfeeding- I'm hopeful might even provide some protection to baby.

I had the Pfizer a few weeks back and am feeding a 3 yr old stupidly regularly, no issues here.

I had the Pfizer yesterday, felt achy today, peaked about 28 ish hours post vaccine, although nothing more than the aches you get with a cold. No issues with 5 month old.
