Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy)

Allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy) are safe to continue while breastfeeding. The tiny amounts of allergen injected do not transfer into breast milk in any meaningful amount. If you were receiving allergy shots before pregnancy, you can continue them. Starting a new course during breastfeeding is also considered safe.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
