Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Nanotiv? Is Nanotiv safe for nursing mother and child? Does Nanotiv extracts into breast milk? Does Nanotiv has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Nanotiv influence milk supply or can Nanotiv decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Nanotiv usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Nanotiv during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, Nanotiv should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
