Tanning by the mother alone whether by natural sunlight or artificial light
is in no way harmful to milk or baby.
I was wondering, however, if this mother believes that there is allot of
other "things" that she cannot due while she is breastfeeding and is
therefore the reason for her weaning early?  Maybe share a little info about
breastfeeding myths and see if these also gets her to open up and ask about
some others.
