I looked up syphilis in Hale & Berens 2002 Clinical Therapy in Breastfeeding 
Patients.  They describe treatment during pregnancy (only Penn G is 
effective.)  They then say mother and baby each need to be tested after 
delivery and the baby will probably be treated (as a precaution, because 
syphillis can 'sneak by')  There is no evidence that syphilis is transmitted 
via breastfeeding unless there is an open chancre on mother"s breast. From 
Hale and Hartman, 2007).
