Re: << I am gathering information to for a doctor on breastfeeding and Lyme  
Disease.  This is for personal and professional reasons.  11  yrs. ago I was 
dx/tx  for Lyme Disease while breastfeeding my 3 yo  son..  He feels my son's health 
problems and learning disorders  are a result of Lyme exposure while 
breastfeeding and his exposure in  utero to my mercury toxicity (I was recently 
dx). >>


For this kind of info to share with docs, it's hard to beat the credibility of the CDC. Here's their info re: pregnancy/BF: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/ld_transmission.htm 

Evidence-based info is always to be found at kellymom.com too: 
http://www.kellymom.com/health/illness/lyme-disease.html

I suppose your doc could say there's no proof, but it sounds as if he's theorizing vs. using evidence-based info. Why is it that everyone is always so quick to "blame" breastfeeding when that's generally the most protective thing we can do?!?
