Ok..need guru input here. For those of you who work with breastfeeding mothers that are medical professionals- what advise do you give if the mother has recieved a needle stick injury/body fluid exposure? I checked the CDC info and couldn't find much of anything. I keep getting phone calls from medical moms who have suffered an exposure and our Occ.Med dept. tells them they should quit breastfeeding immediately or their baby is at risk. Now, if the patient was an HIV/Hep pos. I could understand that while mom is undergoing follow up there might be some concern??? but if the patient is negative at time of injury- are there any recommendations? Would appreciate any info or other areas to lit search- I just hate the "everybody answer" of quit breastfeeding immediately.
