A member asked:
If i become contaminated with e. coli from tainted food, can i give it to my baby through breast milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: To get into the breast milk it must enter your blood first, which will not happen. These germs remain localized to your gut and bowel. You would also shed the germ in your poo.
