Gang:
"Sadly, I recently perused Ruth Lawrence's new book, and indeed on p 883,
she does indicate that breastmilk must be discarded for the first 24
hours of therapy with a group A pharyngitis.  She also indicates on the
same page that breastfeeding is acceptable after 24 hours of therapy for
group B strep endometritis. "

Several of us "accosted" Dr. Lawrence about this chapter at the LLLI MD
meeting this summer and the recent ABM meeting.  She admitted there was no
research to support these recommendations.  Her son wrote this chapter, not
her.
