I think your analysis is correct. There would be little lead exposure. As a backup the mom could get her lead level checked and see how much she is absorbing. If there is a significant level the baby would already have received a lead dose during the pregnancy. The baby could be checked after birth if there is any level in mom's blood at all. Then followed with blood tests for lead during the breastfeeding period and thereafter.
