Kineret and Breastfeeding

No studies have been conducted on whether Kineret passes through breast milk. It is also not clear if the drug causes any problems in nursing infants. If your healthcare provider recommends taking Kineret while breastfeeding, make sure to watch for possible side effects in your child.
 
You should talk with your healthcare provider about Kineret and breastfeeding. Each woman's situation is different, and you and your healthcare provider understand your situation best. After considering what you want and expect, as well as your current health situation, the two of you can make a shared decision about Kineret and breastfeeding that is right for you.
