"A mother recently was told by the nurses at her pediatric office that
"milk products" would upset the baby's stomach more, and to only give
Pedialyte etc."

Sorry, though there are studies (which I do not have handy), it is up to the
nurses to provide the evidence that it is better to stop breastfeeding.
There just isn't any.  UNICEF has all sorts of documents that say it is
better to continue.  This thing about stopping *milk* is so old I can't
believe it, but it was never meant to include breastmilk.

The nurses are just plain wrong.  Why can they say something without
studies, and you have to run around looking for studies.  Refuse to play
that game!
