strwind has kids, and only recently posted that she thinks her children have high fevers, but cannot measure them, as she does not own a thermometer, and has no capability of going to the doctor because her husband won't be home for 8 more hours. One is like 2 and the other one is a newborn.
bicrim's logic is all kinds of bizarre (seriously, snake bite's a bit like the West Nile Virus?) but someone lower down linked to this site from the WHO which says you can breastfeed after being bitten by a snake. So I guess it actually is safe.
If the snake isn't poisonious, then yeah, no problem there. But the OP didnt even know if it was poisonious. I would play it safe rather than risk hurting my kid.
Actually, if the snake is venomous, the molecules of venom might not even be able to pass into breastmilk. Obviously, I'd research that particularly, but with a lot of chemicals, ingestion (by any means) does not automatically mean it'll end up in one's breastmilk. Just sayin'.
This made me think of a story. *is naughty and uses work internet for this purpose*
When my sister was breastfeeding she was eating a lot of products with soy in it. Her son started reacting rather violently. He had constant diarhhea and stomach upset. He was one very unhappy baby. My sister cut out the soy products and BAM, baby was healthy and happy as a clam.
The food you eat, the things you drink, all of it gets filtered into your breastmilk.
It only stands to reason that snake poison would also filter into the breast milk, and one would think it would be far more hazardous to the baby than to the mother.
That said, my sister had to formula feed her second baby and surprise, SURPRISE, her little girl (who was formula fed), is just as healthy as her son was.
On that note, I was breastfed and I have so many health issues it's not funny, but my sister was formula fed and she is FAR healthier.
I think while it's obvious breastmilk has it's benefits, it is not abusive or neglective to give your child formula.

As I mentioned above, not every chemical passes into breastmilk, nor, I might add, passes into breastmilk in similar doses.
