There may be some general concerns and/or questions from moms due to the recent issues in Flint, Michigan RE Lead exposure. The CDC has a reference guide "Guidelines for Identification and Management of Lead Exposure in Pregnant and Lactating Women (2010)". The guide can be useful as an overview of where lead is found, its affect on women and children and includes a chapter on lead exposure and breastfeeding. http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/publications/leadandpregnancy2010.pdf
