As you have been successful in one correction, I ask your assistance in having the CDC ([log in to unmask]) correct their statement on their website that addresses West Nile Virus. I have already written them with quotes from both the AAP and AAFP (whose statement is even stronger), but they have not changed the statement in their website: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/qa/breastfeeding.htm Q. Should I continue breast-feeding if I am symptomatic for West Nile virus? A. Because the health benefits of breast-feeding are well established, and the risk for West Nile virus transmission through breast-feeding is unknown, the new findings do not suggest a change in breast-feeding recommendations. The American Academy of Pediatricians and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend that infants be breastfed for a full year of life. Lactating women who are ill or who are having difficulty breast-feeding for any reason, as always, should consult their physicians.
