Sorry to be behind on threads but as to Melinda's question on Hep B: To quote from the 1997 Red Book (AAP report of the committee on infectious disease): "Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG) has been detected in milk from HBsAG positive women. However, studies from Taiwan and England have indicated that breastfeeding by HBsAg positive women does not increase significantly the risk of infection among their infants. In the United States infants born to known HBsAG-positive women should receive both Hepatitis B Immune Globulin and hepatitis B vaccine, effectively eliminating any theorectical risk of transmission through breastfeeding. Immunoprophylaxis of infants with hepatitis B vaccine alone also provides protection." -Rob
