    Nicky - I think it should be fine.
    I of course have no medical evidence to back this up -
    BUT - my hospy encourages breastfeeding to no end and instructed me to have the Gardasil at my 6wk... so i'm sure it must be fine, if they're pushing both.
    Good question though, ill keep an eye out!

    ETA - This is all i found...

    "This vaccine can be given to women who are breastfeeding. It has not been shown to have any effect on a nursing infant, or to be any less effective in women who are breastfeeding."
    Combined with the common, always check with your doctor first...
