[jasminemark]

Breastfeeding gives babies the most nutritional start in life, as well as provides them with important protection against certain infections. However, traveling internationally while nursing can present challenges. Outlined below is information breastfeeding moms should consider when traveling.For women who are breastfeeding only, there is no concern about sterilizing bottles or the availability of clean water. Nursing women may be immunized for protection against disease, depending on their itinerary. However, there may be certain diseases, such as yellow fever, measles, and meningococcal meningitis, which may be a threat to infants who cannot be immunized at birth, as an infant would not gain protection against these infections through breastfeeding. It is important to discuss this with both your physician and your infant's physician before you travel.For women who are supplementing breastfeeding with formula, powdered formula prepared with boiled water is the best solution.
