If Lawrence says that giardia can be transmitted through breastmilk, I
am amazed.  I haven't had a chance to check, but I think this is
*extremely* unlikely.  This is a protozoa, it is huge.  How would it
get from the mother's gut, to the milk?  How would it get into the
milk?

There is evidence that breastmilk is protective against giardia.
