would like something that says it is OK to breastfeed with maternal
melanoma."
What about the *lack* of mention of maternal melanoma as contraindicating
breastfeeding in Dr. Ruth Lawrence's chapter, "When Not to Breastfeed: HIV
and Other Infections," in Breastfeeding Annual International 2001? It's
published by Playtpus Media and edited by Dia Michels. The chapter covers
more situations than just infections.
Hope this is of some help.
