Good Morning Lactnetters: To my surprise, I have not been able to find anything on hemophilia! A nurse in our clinic came to me with a question for a mother who has just had her third child with hemophilia. The baby is 6 weeks old and the mother has been breast and bottle feeding, but has become nervous about continuing to breastfeed b/c some BRILLIANT hcp told her it would hurt the baby. I could not find anything in Lawrence, in "Conditions and Diseases", LLL "Answer Book", "Breastfeeding the Special Care Child" or Riorden. Anybody? I cannot think of a reason why she could not breastfeed, and plenty of ideas why she should. HELP. Lizabeth J.
