Hi I am just wondering is it safe to breastfeed while have severe case of fungal toenails. All toes are affected. I m hoping to breastfeed for 6 weeks and then try laser therapy. Is it safe to breastfeed or is there anyway it could pass to the baby through my system
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. It may be dermatophyte fungal infection and this fungus do not excrete in Breastmilk. So you can continue to breastfeed your child .but fungus can be spread through inhalation or direct contact (depend upon different fungal species) you should take care to avoid contact of your child to infected part .thanks.
