Laura asked if a mom never had rotavirus would the antibodies
be in her breastmilk.
--------

According to MOLECULAR VIROLOGY: Antiviral factors in Human Milk , tables
from La Trobe University School of Microbiology, found at
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/www/microbio/table2.html

Antiviral factors found in human breast milk to be active against rotavirus
include: Secretory IgA, IgG, non-immunoglobulin macromolecules, Mucin
(glycoprotein),  Bifidobacterium bifidum, slgA + trypsin inhibitor and
gangliosides GM1-3.

It sounds like protection to me.
