Hi Betty I have just read Ruth Lawrence (2005, p 668) - Transmission occurs through direct contact and sexual contact. Laryngeal papillomas are believed to result from acquiring the virus through the birth canal.... ....The breast is a rare site for involvement. Without breast lesions, there is no apparent risk from breast milk, and breastfeeding is acceptable.
