Until now, it was assumed that the mRNA could not be found in breast milk. However, scientists have now detected traces of the mRNA preparation in breast milk and many mothers are worried. But the experts give the all-clear.

Vaccine discovered in seven breast milk samples

As many media outlets report, including merkur.de , doctors discovered traces of the mRNA preparation in their breast milk shortly after breastfeeding mothers were vaccinated against the coronavirus. In a small study in New York, a team led by neonatologist Nazeeh Hanna from NYU Langone Hospital examined 131 breast milk samples from eleven women. These were vaccinated against the coronavirus a maximum of five days before the sample was taken, either with Moderna or BioNTech/Pfizer .

Traces of the vaccines or their mRNA were detected in seven milk samples from five different women. None of the samples were taken more than 45 hours after vaccination.

Researchers speculate

It is possible that nanoparticles containing the mRNA would reach the mammary glands via the bloodstream or lymphatic system. However, the study did not check whether the mRNA was still active in breast milk, meaning that it could theoretically lead to the formation of proteins.

inquiry , the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG) stated directly that mRNA “degrades in the stomach after oral intake, i.e. is broken down”. Therefore, it would not spread throughout the newborn's body or reach its bloodstream.

There is no reason to worry

Even if the results of the small study initially seem worrying, the doctors around Hanna do not derive any safety concerns from the evidence. According to a study from September 26, 2022, the “JAMA Pediatrics” form also writes that breastfeeding is safe mRNA vaccination against Covid-19 The DGGG even points out that, in addition to the mother, the child is also more protected against SARS-CoV-2 disease if the mother is vaccinated.

“Based on these considerations, it does not appear to make sense to restrict the recommendation for vaccination of breastfeeding mothers,” said the specialist society.

A 48-hour break from breastfeeding after vaccination is still recommended

However, the scientists from New York still recommend that children up to 6 months of age avoid breastfeeding in the first 48 hours after vaccination. The possible effects of vaccine mRNA on newborns have not yet been sufficiently investigated; further safety study data is required first.
