Susan:

   in the states we have a product called alveno.. it is now available in
many forms...origionally as a bath...look like oatmeal....very southing. i
think and the physicians will hopefully add, once the leasons on her breasts
close, she can bf the baby....

    r & a quote a study from fredrick white and braddock in 86 of 21 yo. dev
cp at 40 weeks, had c/s.. they were isolated, mom pumped and milk was cheeked
for virus and
it was NOT FOUND...they conclude that" milk from a mother with caricella
herpes zoster virus is dage and camy continue to be provided during the
course of the illness"
