Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
It has been 16 days since my sister was diagnosed with chickenpox. All the scabs have vanished. She had temporarily stopped breastfeeding her six-month-old baby. Can she start feeding the baby again?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Yes, she can start feeding her baby again, as she no longer carries the infection.
