Flu shot affect breastfeeding?
« on: December 07, 2007, 20:50:10 pm »
I got my flu shot on Wednesday.  Hannah hasn't seemed to be feeling well since then.... could the shot be affecting hre at all through my breastmilk?

I know the shot has made me feel terrible the past couple days... could she be experiencing the same thing?

she was up the entire night last night and that is NOT like her.

I suppose it's possible....especially if you're noticing something.  Is it possible you're both coming down with something instead?  I never noticed anything with my kids when I got it, but you never know.... If it is, it should settle down soon - certainly once you start feeling better.
