OT: Breastmilk and graves antibodies

[Guest guest]

All,

Sort of off topic, I guess. . . . and maybe a truly overly-cautious question but

here goes:

A friend is adopting a baby and I offered to store breast milk for him/her. The

baby's coming from Nepal in about nine months, we think -- I know breastmilk

stores for six months in a deep freezer, so I'll start pumping soon. My

expectation is that I can offer the baby at least a solid 6 - 8 weeks of

breastmilk (or hopefully more). Not to worry -- I don't plan on exhausting

myself or creating so much milk that I'm miserable, but trying just to see if I

can't get a bottle a day for a few months, to store. This baby will need all

the nutritional help she/he can get!

Okay, that's the story. My overly cautious question is about antibodies and

breastmilk. I know I " m paranoid, but I feel like I should fully disclose things

about my health and milk quality to my friend. My assumption is that breast

milk could in no way pass o Graves antibodies -- at least not that we know of.

Am I right on this?

Thanks to anyone who might know . . . .
