Exclamation Swine Flu and Breastfeeding

Here are the recommendations from the American Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine which read in part:
"The new guidelines presented by ABM urge physicians to support continued
breastfeeding even if the mother is suspected of having the H1N1 influenza virus,since the infant would likely have been exposed to the virus before the mother’s symptoms appeared. Continued breastfeeding may help limit the severity of respiratory symptoms in infants that become infected."

If you have some evidence-based info about swine flu, please post it here.
