Recently we had a mother who had positive blood cultures for e coli. I remember that Lawrence mentions that in a case of sepsis with mother, that baby should not be fed her milk. This is the only source I found that mentions this. Mother pumped. The pediatric residents would not allow baby, (a premie) to have mother's milk until she had a neg blood culture. Any experience with this? Has the milk actually been cultured to know that the bacteria is transferred into the mother's milk?
