My  question to you is if there is any research that has been done about the 
types  of toxins we may be exposed to and their potential of being passed on 
in  breastmilk?  
 
I don't believe there is any new information.  I've been a firefighter  for 
20 years and  a peer counselor for 6.   I've helped many  women with the City 
of Chicago Fire Dept. to nurse and pump for their babies on  our 24 hour shift 
schedule.
 
Years ago I emailed Dr Neumann regarding smoke and toxins.  I told him  I 
would dump the first batch of milk pumped after a fire and he told me that it  
was probably not necessary.
 
I will say I nursed my son for about a year and my daughter for almost 6  
years and both are very healthy and are now 10 and 13 years old.
