There's a form of hepatitis that can be transmitted through saliva. Are we to assume that Alica Silverstone doesn't have hepatitis because she's a celebrity? In the scheme things this whole thing is a case of a rich, famous, and eccentric person acting like one. So be it, but I'm allowed to have an opinion about it.

You're referring to Hep B which can also be transmitted through breast milk. Uh oh. What a horrible mother she is. :rolleyes:

A hepatitis test is a standard part of prenatal testing. I don't assume she doesn't have it because she's a celebrity, but I do assume that if she had it she would have discovered it at that time.

Actually there's a lot of factors involved in that, like I said a child's immune system is not the same of an adults and a mother can MUCH MORE easily pass on something to her child that he/she isn't capable of handling. Why even risk it?
Everything we do with our children is a risk. I understand that medical professionals focus on reducing risks, but some vague, remote, unsubstantiated risk isn't the kind of thing I think we need to start criticizing mothers for not heeding. I think your issue with this is more that it's "weird" than that there's actually medical evidence that it's harmful. But when you say "why risk it?" you implicate a whole universe of "unnecessary" risks: the choice not to use hand sanitizer every time your kid touches a public surface. Your choice to let your child eat peanut butter for the first time. Your choice to let your child have easter candy. Your choice to send them to daycare where you can't supervise play. There are a thousand risks we take with our children every day, but we risk it because life goes on, we make judgment calls, we try to stay abreast of medically substantiated risks and abide by them, but ignore many other shakier findings.
