Did you get a reply for this? Maybe I
missed it. The website for RCOG in the UK
has the policy for Strep B which is very rational and balanced; The Centre for
Disease Control in the USA,
where Australia takes its

group b strep, but the baby was healthy and full term, showing no symptoms,
so given that until we did the test the baby had been having her milk
without problems, we sought advice and she continued to feed. Wha

breast-feeding can give the baby important antibodies and other factors to help
protect the baby from infection. Additionally, routine hand washing is always
advised in handling any newborn to reduce the number of germ
