Dr. Newman: thank you for sharing your wealth of information and insight with us. In a recent (nov. 96) article on advising bf mothers dr, freed says that "the potential exists for an infected infant (with b-strep) to transmit the disease to mothers, and them become reinfected through the breastmilk." Would this transmission be through the milk? through contact? or vertical? Is this transmission possible breastfeeding or not? thank you, Patricia
