Hi 
I breastfed a baby with hand,foot & mouth (which is a parvovirus I think).  Most adults are immune and if mum is not, then she has probably contracted it and is incubating already.  J was miserable.  His mouth and throat were covered in blisters.  We spent three days on the sofa.  He was too sore to suck but he insisted on having a breast in his mouth (without any suction) all the time.  The only way to get fluids into him was to (hand) express into his mouth - he would generally swallow it but the friction associated with suckling was just too sore, I guess.
Cheers
