Hello from cloudy Florida waiting on some of the rain to come...I know those 
in the North are tired of the snow, just sent home daughter and granddaughter 
from a visit.
This is referring to Listeria patients and breastfeeding.  The Mom who I 
referred to in last posting was a patient 5 years ago and she didn't breastfeed 
due high maternal temp of 105-106 degrees and all the high antibotics she was on 
for such a long time.
We actually feared we would loose both her and her baby.  She was ill for 
quite a few weeks.  After Hurricane Andrew we also had 3 moms in the  area who 
had it as well and one baby did die and no one breastfed due to severity of 
their illnesses.  All babies were in NICU for ages. 
The neos and Infectious Disease people docs and nurses all stated that 
breastfeeding should be abandoned.  Perhaps in a different place and time, now they 
might encourage pump and dump, but they felt that pump and dump would not be a 
good way to control the organism. I would be interested to know if anyone has 
had a recent outbreak and how it was managed.
Sincerely,
Leanne Jewell, RNC, IBCLC, LCCE, FACCE
