What about washing hands before handling breasts?
But why does she say to wash breasts?
Is it from covering your sneeze down inside the neck of your shirt?
How many moms really do that?
It's a recommendation without substantiation that I can see.
True, it is MUCH better than separating mom & babe, but it leaves me puzzled.

Washing the breasts is a billion times better than seperate mom and baby for days after birth. Advice is not a recommendation or a policy and CDC has already been adopted widely. Wasn't there going to be a CDC update??!
