Under what circumstances should breastfeeding be inappropriate?

After a long pregnancy journey in October, many mothers and families are ecstatic about the happy arrival of the lovely baby. However, in the face of hungry mouths, are new mothers always at a loss? How can we feed these angels perfectly? The answer is simple: for the baby, the sweet milk of the mother is the best gift, and the best choice that the mother can make is to breastfeed the baby as long as possible.

Chen Wenshan, a well-known domestic maternal and child care expert and head nurse of Beijing Meizhong Yihe Women and Children Hospital, and Xu Suzhen, the first domestic delivery tutor certified by Lamaze International Organization and an expert from the Medical Education Center of Beijing Meizhong Yihe Women and Children Hospital, gave guidance to new mothers on what conditions are not suitable for breastfeeding:

Although the advantages of breast milk are self-evident, they sometimes need to be considered. Because many bacteria, viruses and drugs are secreted from milk, if these substances that can enter the milk are harmful to the baby's health, then breastfeeding is not the best choice at this time.
