The harm of breastfeeding an infant during pregnancy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This woman says that she is pregnant and has a daughter who is one year and four months old, and she is still breastfeeding her. Does this harm the new baby? And is there a fear of harm to the baby due to the change in hormones?
Answer:
No, the fetus in the womb is not harmed. However, the harm may be to the infant being breastfed, because the milk may undergo changes that harm the one being breastfed. Praise be to Allah, today milk is available in powdered and non-powdered forms, so the child can be fed from it. The pregnant woman breastfeeds her child with this available, good milk. Yes.
