i found no clear cut info on this in any of my resources or in the lactnet
archives:  mom with nursing 2 year old - mom has impetigo covering both
breasts/nipples/entie chest.  very painful - on antibiotics, told not to
nurse, b/c very contagious.  i see references in the archives to latching
and impetigo on nipples, so am now wondering if this info is erroneous?
mom in a lot of pain, difficulty pumping, engorged and worried.  how is
impetigo spread?  if it is staph, how does it differ, if at all, from
staph-infected nipples that are treated while nursing continues ..  .any
guidance helpful - thanks.
