AARGH! Why would vermox, which is *not* absorbed from the gi tract be
contraindicated during breastfeeding? Why would it be contraindicated
for the child, though six month old breastfeeding babies rarely get
pinworms. If that is really a concern, the baby should be treated, but
unless there is evidence he has pinworms, forget treating the baby.
