Hi Sherry,
I don't have an answer, but I'm cross-posting this to misc.kids
breastfeeding. I'm sure the knowledgeable ladies and gents there can
help you :-)

Pump and feed. If your friend is feeling better already her milk
is OK. Better that she should go to the NICU and nurse directly.

Good luck,

So does food poisoning pass into bm? I had wondered that myself, though
never have had cause for concern myself.

I would think no, as the gut is affected... does it get into the
bloodstream??

My understanding is that the baby was very early and at present weighs just
over 2lb, so she won't be feeding from the breast for several more weeks I'm
sorry to say.

I could imagine it might well affect your supply, but it shouldn't
affect the quality of your milk. So whatever you did manage to pump
should be fine. Whenever you have questions about this you can also
let your baby's nurse or doctor know what's going on and they can
advise you whether or not it's safe to feed the milk.
