There has recently been posted on the pedtalk list a concern about
breastfeeding with Hepatitic C.  I know it's been discussed previously on
lactnet.  I posted that the risk of transmission was very low and that the
conservative recommendation would be to breastfeed.  One of the other MDs
cited one study done in 1993 which estimated the risk of transmission as 1/7
which in his mind would make "artificial milk prepared in sanitary conditions"
as serious recommendation.
Does anyone have other data on Hep C that's more recent?
