Don't blame the babies, it was not their fault, eh? Perhaps the moms were
"pretending" to breastfed. Also, I was not faulting breast milk per se
regarding kernicterus but you can see how certain health care providers might
make the "false" connection between the two especially when we have journal
articles about breastfed babies being slower to respond to phototherapy. Is
there some conspiracy going on here? <g>
