The webpage I referred to has a page on Hep C Frequently Asked Questions. The last paragraph says: It is very unlikely that pregnant women with hepatitis C can transmit the virus to their baby either in the womb or at childbirth. At the present time it is not known whether HCV can be spread from a mother to her baby through breastmilk. However, the likelihood is very small and liver specialists believe that the likelihood is so small that they recommend that mothers if they want, breast feed their babies.
