Flu jab when breast feeding

[Angelinthenightx]

Anyone had the flu jab while breast feeding? I take it its just kinda the same as getting it while pregnant, i gave birth before i could get it when pregnant so want to get it now . One of my other children got swine flu at 9months she got over it, so want to do all i can to protect my new baby.

You should absolutely get the flu jab while breast feeding. You will then pass antibodies to the baby through the breast milk, so you'll be protecting both of you at the same time.
