hi i had posted this a few months back w/ no replies. I was checking some infection info due to moms being told not to bf if they have a fever over 100.4F. What are your comments on the following recommendations(see below)? Do you follow these recommendations? Especially primary providers like doctors and nurse practitioners please respond. What about the mastitis recommendations? From 1999, 5th edition, Breastfeeding - a guide for the medical profession by Ruth Lawrence MD, table E-1 p. 869: Breast abscess - discontinue ebm x 24 hrs after surgery; no bf x 24 hrs Endometritis/PID for group B strep - bf ok after 24 hrs of therapy; ebm ok. Haemophilus influenzae - bf after 24 hrs on therapy; may give ebm Mastitis - staph A - bf after 24 hrs of therapy; discard milk x 24 hrs Mastitis - group A strep - same as above thanks, Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
