Rh neg factor has to do with blood and doesn't have anything to do with
breastfeeding at all. It is the absence of one factor in blood. Rhogam is
given to protect subsequent pregnancies, so the mother won't make antibodies
to RH factor that would impact an RH positive fetus.
I am RH neg, had one positive infant and one negative and breastfed them
both, years ago and it was never addressed as a factor with breastfeeding
even though I got tons of other crazy advice 28 years ago with my oldest.
