hi
i had posted this a few months back w/ no replies. I was checking some
infection info due to moms being told not to bf if they have a fever over
100.4F. What are your comments on the following recommendations(see below)?
Do you follow these recommendations? Especially primary providers like
doctors and nurse practitioners please respond. What about the mastitis
recommendations?

From 1999, 5th edition, Breastfeeding - a guide for the medical profession
by Ruth Lawrence MD, table E-1 p. 869:

Breast abscess - discontinue ebm x 24 hrs after surgery; no bf x 24 hrs

Endometritis/PID for group B strep - bf ok after 24 hrs of therapy; ebm ok.

Haemophilus influenzae - bf after 24 hrs on therapy; may give ebm

Mastitis - staph A - bf after 24 hrs of therapy; discard milk x 24 hrs
Mastitis - group A strep - same as above

thanks,
