Does anyone out there have any information about the current recommendations regarding breastfeeding (full term baby) when mom has CMV? We are working with an adoptive mom who started lactating when she found out her daughter was pregnant (yes, that is strange but wonderful!). The infant she is breastfeeding belongs to her step-daughter, who is unable to take care of the baby, so the step-mother now has custody of the baby and has been breastfeeding the baby. The woman who is breastfeeding has CMV. Her doctor told her not to breastfeed at all, but she is still breastfeeding anyway. Please let me know what the current recommendations are re: CMV and breastfeeding. Do the benefits of giving the baby breastmilk outweigh the risk of the baby contracting CMV? Wendy Kiggins, R.D.
