The LCs risk would be very low in my opinion. The baby was likely
infected during the pg/intrapartum, by your description of the
scenario, and not by some bacteria or virus going around. I'm sure the
LC did not drink after anyone there, and she washed her hands etc.
Hope mother and baby are getting better now. Very scary for a newborn
to be that sick.
