TB test while bfing

MummyGruetzie

I tried to google, but am seeing conflicting stuff. What have you heard about getting a TB test while BFing? I need it before I can start my new job. TIA!

Congrats on your baby!  I had been wondering if you had her!

I'm a nurse, so I have to have them too. I was told that it is completely safe.

Definitely fine.  Won't have any reaction unless you have Tb, in which case you probably shouldn't be BF'ing anyway.  But if you're not coughing up blood, you're probably ok.

Thanks! and yes.... she's a little over 2 months old. Crazy how time flies!

Yes, it is fine.  I am a nurse and had to have one while I was pg.  They use a killed bug, so there is no risk.
