>What do you all do in your practices...and what is the norm on skin contact
with Breastmilk?
The gloves issue interests me a lot. I remember reading in Jan Riordan's
chapter in Breastfeeding and Human Lactation that:
"Universal precautions do not apply to human milk unless it contains
visible
blood."
This was quoted as coming from the CDC. Is this information no longer
accurate? I called my local county and state health departments and each
said they had no regulations regarding human milk. The woman at the county
health department did suggest I call the local dairy board since the did
regulate milk. : )
All the BEST,
