This is in several of today's papers in the UK.

Note the inquest on this poor little tot mentions 'breastfeeding' as
vehicle for the herpes simplex virus, but it does not actually say
the virus is in the milk.  If the mother had lesions on her breast or
nipple, then the virus could be passed on that way, I suppose....is
HSV actually in the milk?
