Have a newborn being tested for SCID or severe combined immunodeficiency because a relative has it.
Immunologist says to pump and save pending test results. He also says NO breastfeeding.
Third-hand info is, breast milk feeding might be okay, but direct breastfeeding might not because of the risk of infection from the skin to skin, mouth to breast contact, for a baby with this condition.
I found a news report published in BMJ Vol 324, 13 Apr 2002 about "Bubble baby" who got gene therapy to save his life. He had X chromosome linked severe combined immunodeficiency disorder. His condition was not discovered until his mother quit breastfeeding at 4 months of age.
Thoughts? Especially need CITATIONS to credible resources in case the testing comes out positive for this babe?
Thanks.
Phyllis
