>To whoever is collecting the silly reasons women are given for weaning:
We recently counseled a breastfeeding woman who was experiencing lassitude
and hot flashes (mostly at night). Her physician told her that breastfeeding
was "sucking all the estrogen from her body". We took a history, suggested
she see her internist who diagnosed her with a thyroid problem. Can you
imagine?
