I realize that the question about lead in breastmilk is a little old, but
following are some references which may be helpful now or in the future.

K Dillon, D Wilson, W, Schaffner Lead Concentrations in Human Milk  Am J
Dis Child Vol 128, Oct 1974

M Wolff Occupationally Derived Chemicals in Breast Milk,  American Journal
of Industrial Medicine 4:259-281 (1983)

The latter article also discusses Mercury, other metals, halogenated
hydrocarbons and pesticides.
