If the kid has had it, and the mom has had it, there should be no
problem with breastfeeding,....I think it's a done deal. Kathleen

Hi All,
 A mother of a 20 month old called me today and gave permission to post
here.  Her baby had coxsackie virus with blisters around the mouth.
Lidocaine gel was used for comfort purposes.  Now the mom has the
blisters on her areola- essentially where the child's mouth goes.  She
is using the lido for comfort after.  Is it ok for her to still be
nursing with these lesions?  Will they pass it back and forth?  In
Lawrence it says coxsackie is compatible with BF but not much else.
