Hi Fran,
I don't know what you are referring to when you say the 60 items
contraindicating breastfeeding but I have an excellent paper you can get the
information from.
"A Review of the Medical Benefits and Contraindications to Breastfeeding in
the United States" by Ruth Lawrence.
You can obtain this by writing to: National Maternal and Child Health
Clearinghouse,
2070 Chain Bridge Road, Suite 450, Vienna, VA 22182-2536
or call: (703) 356-1964
or fax: (703) 821-2098
Ruth gave a presentation on this paper at ILCA 1997.  The summary of the
paper; there is no clear cut contraindication to breastfeeding, each case
should be evaluated on a risk/benefit basis.
It is excellent and I highly recommend it.  Comes in handy when a clinician
ask you for information and a reference.
