I have an urgent situation that I need some help with.  I have read the 
1989 Sealander article, and have read through the archives as much as 
possible this evening.

A mother has a nursing 3 yo with a herpes blister in corner of her mouth.  
It is the child's first such outbreak, and mother does not recall older 
child or herself ever having them(thinks husband may have had one or two 
breakouts years ago).

The mother is very concerned if nursing her child with an active lesion can 
transmit herpes to her nipple.  Mother is fairly confident she can get her 
daughter to sleep without nursing for one night, but does not wish to wean 
over this.  She is planning on calling pedi in the morning, and asking for 
Acyclovir for the child.  Does anyone have any firsthand experience with 
this? Know any research?  Thank you in advance,
Jamelle Lyons
