<< My question is:
  She called her Ped to tell him she was switching to ABM.  He called in a
  prescription for a diuretic to dry up her milk. I have never heard of this.
  This is a big Peds practice and I hate to think that this is going to be
  common practice now.
  The med was Furosemide. >>

And MY question is:  Why was the pediatrician prescribing for the mother?  She
is NOT his patient.  That's the responsibility of the OB.
