Baby *cannot* get food poisoning from mother via breastmilk!  A bizarre idea
if ever there was one but I did have a mother telephone me this Christmas
having been advised by her GP to pump and dump her milk because she had food
poisoning - bah, the sheer ignorance defies understanding!  Baby does get good
dose of antibodies to protect it from mother's illness so keep on feeding.
Remind mother to wash her hands well after visiting the bathroom and before
handling food; take plenty of fluid to replace what she is losing through
illness.  She can make her own replacement fluid by making up one litre of
water with eight teaspoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt.
