I had a note back from CDC today saying there is no contraindication to BF before or after the oral polio vaccine. The writer said there was a number of ref to back it up. Acta Ped Scan 79 (12):1137-42, 1990 Dec. was one abstract available on -line. This is, of course, academic in US, as all polio vaccine is now given by injection. But if this incorrect info spread in other parts of the world it could cause problems for either BF or for polio vaccine. I can just hear Drs advising mothers to wean so their baby could get polio vaccine!
