Dear friends,

One of my fellow LC's recently had a mother call and ask about breastfeeding
with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.  The mother has a 10-day-old baby.  Our
reaction is that she can breastfeed even though it is an autoimmune
disorder.  However, we can't seem to find any journal articles or
information specific to breastfeeding to back this up.  Her doctor would
also like some information on breastfeeding with this autoimmune disease.

Anyone know where we can find some information?

Thanks!

Connie Chiavario, IBCLC
