Breast Feeding

---

This is an odd question, If a mother has the herpes simplex 1 virus and has an outbreak after her pregnancy and is breast feeding her baby, can she pass the virus to her child through her breast milk? Is breast milk even a method of transmission of the virus?

I don't believe so. It's transmitted by contact with the infected area.

I think sdp is right.But AIDS can be transmitted through breast milk. It's a very low percentage but it's there. I think it’s like 14% or something.
