breasts?"
Posted with permission. My granddaughter developed the "hand, foot, and
mouth disease" (a viral infection from the Coxsackie virus or a similar
herpatic-like virus, according to her pedi) this past winter and it infected my
daughter's nipples and breasts to such an extent that she had to wean at 16
months. If anyone is interested in a digital picture of the more extensively
involved breast, e-mail me privately and I will send it to you. It was
excruciatingly painful for both, and it was so sad that the breastfeeding that was
giving comfort to my granddaughter made things worse, and had to be ended
abruptly. My daughter said that the only positive thing in the whole experience was
that my granddaughter began to sleep consistently through the night when she
could no longer nurse, and the extra rest may have helped to heal my
daughter's breasts and nipples more quickly.
