If the mother was a HIV patient, the consequences could potentially be severe.

Breast milk is a vector for this disease, and many others.

[AnAmericanMother]

If the MOTHER was an HIV patient, then the parents of the infant that she fed ought to be suing.

I see a third-party complaint on the horizon . . . .

That's completely farfetched, and has neither been alleged nor proven.

[MediaMole]

If the issue was disease transmission, the OTHER family should be the ones suing, not these idiots. The baby was at risk, not the mother who briefly breast fed him.

...and nothing bad happened.

[TASMANIANRED]

The baby would be at risk.. Not the mother.

[panthermom]

Well I would probably think that IF the babies mother did have HIV they would probably recommend her NOT TO BREASTFEED. There is such a thing as a bottle.
