A friend of mine who is nursing a 2-week-old has just been diagnosed with
chickenpox. There are lesions on her areola. One of her doctors has told
her it is OK to continue breastfeeding. The other has told her it is not OK
because of the lesions. I have not been able to find an answer for her. If
the lesions are a concern, couldn't she just use a nipple shield?
