Can breastmilk affect the results of a paternity test?
I just took a home paternity test and it says I am NOT the father. I do not trust this result and I will be taking a real dna test soon, but besides these home tests being unreliable can breastmilk affect the results of a dna test? Somebody here on yahoo with alot of experience says they did but I can't find anything anywhere else that says breastmilk affects dna results when using a swab. Anyone know?

I’m glad you’re doing this. With a 30% rate of paternity Fraud, all men needs to be doing this. I’m working with paternity testing companies to develop commercials promoting this.

You should know that if you’re not married to the mother, you have no legal rights to the child under all conditions.
Go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There’s a free manual there that will teach you all you need to know, and association with others involved in similar cases.

I think the idea it that if your baby’s just been fed, you may accidentally contaminate the swab with the mother’s skin cells, in which case the paternity test would correctly identify you as not being the MOTHER’S father, rather than not the baby’s father. Get a blood test, they’re much more accurate. But remember, there is always margin for error.
theoretically breast milk can have some maternal DNA on it so maybe the the test detected that you were not the father of the woman who supplied the breast milk
also its quite common for mother and child to swap some cells so if you took some blood, there might be maternal cells in the baby
just guessing though
