The Report of the COmmittee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy
of Pediatrics (Redbook) CLEARLY states that Hep B is NOT a contraindication
for breastfeeding - any THEORETICAL risk is counted by the use of Hep B
vaccine and Hep B. Immunoglobulin. CMS is also not a problem in healthy
neonates but I don't have as good a reference at my fingertips.
