I cannot fathom for what reason a mother would have to stop breastfeeding
because of blood transfusion.  It's the old, "if we don't know, we better
tell the mother that breastfeeding is risky".  Well, why don't they know?
What are they worried about?  HIV?  I thought they heat treat the blood.
What are they worried about?  For crying out loud?
