Diane, I saw the same story on RSV on our news station here in Chicago. I was upset that they didn't even mention BF as a help in preventing RSV in these infants. In Ruth Lawrence's book, 4th edition on page 171, she states, "Specimens of human colostrum have been found to contain neutralizing activity against RSV." Dr. Lawrence also shares some data collected by Downham et al which showed that few breastfed babies (8 of 115) were among the infants hospitalized for RSV infection, compared with uninfected controls who were breastfed (46 of 167).
