RSV is on the top of my "viruses to hate" list. I wish we had a real vaccine
for it. But, my experience over 20 years in general pediatrics is that
breastfed babies definitely fare better with RSV than their artificially-fed
counterparts. Breastfed infants can and do catch RSV, but it is generally
much less severe and less likely to result in hospitalization.
