I asked one of our pediatric residents if he knew of any reason why breast 
milk would interfere with engraftment.  He said that if the baby was 
receiving his own mother's milk, then he would encourage her to continue 
breastfeeding.  But he wasn't sure if the baby would see the proteins in the 
donor mother's milk as foreign.  I would imagine that the protein in cow's 
milk or soy would be even more foreign though.
