   I doubt that there is any contraindication re: anemia.... mom was probably
 told that she should not bf because of the transfusion.   this is a very
 touchy issue... the concern is that if the blood she got is tainted there is
 a possibility that she might infect her child....

I've hear this argument before.  Makes me wonder - if the risk of tainted
blood so great, what's it doing going into the mother?
