This is a question from a mom - Does anyone have any information or experience with this? "this is a somewhat obscure topic(thankfully!) my ds is 13 months old and will need a kidney transplant within a year. he's on dialysis now, his health situation is a big long story, but i'm hoping that there's someone who might point me in the right direction for learning about breastfeeding through transplant. i want to go to his nephrologists(kidney docs)armed with info. about this(i've already gotten some very subtle pressure to wean- i think because nursing past a year is unfamiliar to them)the first thing that comes to mind for me is whether breastmilk, with its immune building properties might be harmful to someone whose immune system basicly needs to be wiped out initially to prevent rejection. the other issue is that i'll be the donor.any thoughts?" *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
