Give ZIG to uninfected neonate and separation from mother until she is noninfectious
CMV Passive transfer of maternal antibodies For as long as mothers are not recent converters if infant is term For preterms: benefits of BF outweigh risk of CMV transmission Freezing and pasteurization can significantly viral load in milk Toxoplasmosis Antibodies found in breast milk
With appropriate immunoprophylaxis: no additional risk in breastfed infant even if mother is HBeAg positive

If BM substitutes are acceptable, affordable, feasible, sustainable and safe greater chances of survival if fed artificially
If BM substitutes are prohibitively costly, access to clean water poor, health care limited exclusive BF safest option
