A local nurse, who will be teaching a breastfeeding course soon, has asked me for information regarding breastfeeding and breast cancer. We have all the info. in BF and Human Lactation, and Lawrence, but is there any new research that you know of, or some place that can provide new info? Questions come up that are difficult to answer. For instance, are cancer cells passed on to the baby through breastmilk and what happens if they are? Obviously, the mother would wean if she was diagnosed and had to have chemo, but then she may worry about her baby. What about new info re prevention of breast cancer and breastfeeding? If you have any information to share could you please Email me privately. Thanks! Linda Blake,LLL, IBCLC.
