Hi All,

 

I got this e-mail question today from an RN:

 

**Can you help me research any studies that have been done about a link
between cancer being passed through breastmilk to the baby, causing cancer
to develop in the child?  I can't find anything reputable

 

Thoughts or links to studies are appreciated.  Personally I don't know how a
baby would 'catch' cancer through breastfeeding.  I have asked this RN for
more details on the case she is working on where this is in question.  I'll
let you know what I get.


Thanks!
J
