I actually spoke with Ruth Lawrence about this a couple of years ago and she advised that the baby who was nursing from a mother with MRSA has already been exposed to it and is receiving antibodies to it from the mother and there is no reason to stop nursing and certainly no reason to pump and dump. The breastmilk should have protective benefits. Is the breast not an immunological organ?
