US has pretty much gone to IPV, instead of oral. IPV - inactivated polio vaccine by injection. I think the statement about not BF 2 hours pre & post oral polio immunization is one of those "urban myths." Riordan & Auerbach say it is OK (with ref) and BF Answer Book says same with a ref from AAP Committee on Infectious Disease 1994. Red Book 2000 makes no mention on any delay in BF. You know we just have to make BF harder, if at all possible :-( hence this on-going myth - it has been around a loooooooong time.)
