Q&A 159: breastfeeding on ocrelizumab
Should I delay breastfeeding due to the pre-medications, i.e. steroids and antihistamines that are given prior to each infusion?
Question
I have been told by my neurologist that I can breastfeed my newborn (4 weeks) through my ocrelizumab infusion. I am trying to find out if that is what the literature says. I also wanted to know whether to delay breastfeeding due to the premeds (steroids and antihistamines).
