Does my breastfed baby need vaccines?

Yes. Vaccines are very important to your baby\’s health. Breastfeeding may also help your baby respond better to certain immunizations that protect your baby. Follow the schedule your doctor gives you and, if you miss any vaccines, check with the doctor about getting your baby back on track as soon as possible.

Breastfeeding while the vaccine is given to your baby — or immediately afterward — can help relieve pain and soothe an upset baby.
