Is mrsa in breastmilk? can mrsa be passed through breast milk, if so is there anyway around it so i'm able to nurse my baby?

See below: If the infection is on her breast close to the arreola, it is recommended to pump & discard milk on the affected side until she has been on antibiotics 48 hours, but she may continue to breastfeed on the unaffected side. (this is a partial answer) for more info- www.Bfmed.Org and go to protocol # 4.
