Breastfeeding chickenpox breastfeeding the baby will be contagious. Chickenpox is a common infectious disease that is transmitted by contact with droplets from people with varicella-zoster or by direct contact with objects used by them, with newborns, infants and young children being the high-risk groups for the disease. When a breastfeeding woman gets chickenpox, it can be transmitted to her baby through the direct respiratory tract or through close contact with the mother while she is breastfeeding, so the risk of transmission is relatively high. Especially when the baby is very young, the resistance is relatively low, the risk of getting chickenpox is even greater, and may be combined with some severe manifestations of chickenpox. If you get chickenpox while breastfeeding, it is recommended that you stop breastfeeding for a while, go to the hospital in time, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
