Fernando Vallone keeps a spanish speaking (sometimes Portuguese)
breastfeeding email mailing list.

He recently heard something "new":  a pediatrician told a mother
that for 3 hours after her baby received a polio vaccination
she should not breastfeed because the anibodies in her milk
would kill the vaccine and that she should give formula......

If you'd like to know more about this list
contact Fernando Vallone, a pediatrician in Argentina.

Respecto a la introduccion del biberon, el otro dia
me dijeron una que nunca habia escuchado: el pediatra le dice a la madre que
hasta tres horas despues de haberle dado la vacuna Sabin no le de el pecho
pues los anticuerpos de su leche matan la vacuna. "Asi que, dele esta leche
en polvo..."
