PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME with cold turkey stopping

i have had to stop bf as of now! am in floods of tears and james does not understand.

it is because of my midwiffery degree i had know about it but only for a week and wasn't sure what to do. to cut a long story short it was basically have the hep b injection or dont do the course because of health and safety in the hospital so i had it Niamh is crying for it,

am i a bad mother for putting through this? what would of you done?
i feel like i am trying to get a better job for my lil family but hurting the most important thing in my world.

i am a bad mum i know it, i should of left they never mentioned it untill now i carnt beleive it sorry to rant and sorry if people think bad of me

Oh, Angela!!!
Are you sure you have to wean after injection?
I'll check it for you and get back ASAP!

yeah she said it was very dangerous to baby, and she even said i will put in your file that she had warned me, and then i had to sign that so if i do it will be my fault she is ill. i just carn't stop crying!

I'm checking it hun...
hold on for a while :aww:

Angela:

Can hepatitis B vaccine be given during pregnancy or when breastfeeding?
Yes, neither pregnancy nor breastfeeding should be considered a contraindication to vaccination of women. On the basis of limited experience, there is no apparent risk of adverse effects to developing fetuses when hepatitis B vaccine is administered to pregnant women. The vaccine contains noninfectious HBsAg particles and should cause no risk to the fetus. HBV infection affecting a pregnant woman might result in severe disease for the mother and chronic HBV infection for the newborn.

http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/b/faqb.htm#vaccine

I'm clearing it with LC and IBCLC also.

ITs looking good, hun :aww:

According to Dr. Hale's "Medications and Mother's Milk" the Hep B vax is an inactivated non-infectious vaccine. No data is available on its use in BFing mothers but it is unlikely to produce untoward effects on an infant. It's also rated an L2 SAFER:
Drug which has been studied in a limited number of breastfeeding women without an increase in adverse effects in the infant; And/or, the evidence of a demonstrated risk which is likely to follow use of this medication in a breastfeeding woman is remote.

This is email IBCLC just send to me regardles your vax.
Next step is to call BfN drug line, whitch I encourage you to do strongly:
0844 412 4665 .


If I would be in your shoes: i wouldn't wean.

It looks like another midwife that isn't informed about the correct facts.

Hunny, you are not a bad mother! shes a bad midwife!!

You do what you think is best hun :aww:

thankyou for the replies av just got back from my mums Niamh sleeps on a friday because i do an early at the hospital on a saturday,
thats the thing too, av been at placement there for ages and they mention it now!!!!!!!!
i will ring the drug line in the morning thanks for that you are so kind!

tash is was just a nurse who told me that and gave me the jab. the mid's are not to blame this time xx

I checked with ABM consuellors and they said to print out what dr Hale said and stff it under stupid and unimformed cow's nose. I believe they had nurse in mind!
I'm 100% positive its safe to bf.

take care :aww:

bless ya thankyou, my boobs are killing she ant fed since this morning i didn't realize how much she drinks untill now! xx

aww bless!!!! I'm so glad you've came on today! The thought of you weaning because of some silly moo... I would like to get my hands on on this nurse, I'm telling you.

And:
If she is at your mums, don't forget to express milk, so you don't end up with plugged ducts, hun.

The girls are all right Angela...when I started working with adults with challenging behavior I was in the early stages of pregnancy with my son Ben (now 4) I needed to have the vaccine too and when I asked my GP he said you have it as it didn't have any effcts on baby as far as studies knew!
Ben is absoloutely fine and breastfed for 13 months no probs!!

:aww:


Well it just goes to show how uninformed nurses are! I am not shoked to be honest.

Have you decided what you want to do Hun?

firstly thankyou for all your help,

i rang the drug line and spoke to somebody very nice who was disapointed with the NHS for this, we spoke for ages and she said it was fine to breast feed so am still bf! yey!!!!!!!! it had been ages tho poor niamh!

oh she said she had heard of the forum and praised it! she also sent me loads of info vire email will put it on but not sure where?

thanks again
Angela and Niamh xxxx

hun, you can stick it in bf resources if you want
I'm so glad you continue bf! :aww:

ok will do hun! xxx

:aww: I am so pleased you can carry on!

Well done Katie for finding out! :cheer:

Great that people are hearing about the forum!!

:aww: I have just seen this - t must have been awful for you!

Well done Katie for setting the record straight and the good old NHS strikes again!

Glad u are still with us! :boob:

That is shocking! Silly woman!

Glad all is ok!

So its not a goodbye post anymore Piesmummy ?

What a horrible experience for you :aww:

It is just wrong that people in the medical profession can give infomation that is wrong and which if you had nowhere to ask would have resulted in your nursing relationship coming to an end before you wanted it to.

In any other area of medicine it would be called negligence.

Glad it worked out ok

In any other area of medicine it would be called negligence.

Totally agree!!!

I would still report her to her supervisor.

Just shows how utterly invaluable this Forum is for breastfeeding Mums and their babies!
Also Angela when you become a midwife you will be able to give this advice and your experience to other pregnant and BF Mums and hopefully break a chain of malinformed ignorant Health professionals!
So happy you and LO are continuing! XXXX

Breast Buddies
