Both parents have HIV. 8+ lb term girl born today by c/s. Parents have been given standard info about NOT breastfeeding here in the US.
Reports are, father KNOWS that if mom pumps and leaves the milk to stand for 4 hours, then it's safe to feed to the baby. He really wants his baby to get mom's milk.
Question: had anyone heard this 4-hour myth before? know of an origin?
I'll meet the family for the first time tomorrow.
