I respectfully disagree with this example and the one before (sorry, forgot who posted it, it was the list of wannabee obvious things).
These are old wifes tales and urban legends. My example was an obvious based on what we ''scientifically'' already know about breastfeeding: it is the biological norm, it has antibiotic  and antifungal effects and thus it is *obvious* that this should be seen as the norm and non-biologically normative interventions should be weighed and tested against that.

Warmly,

burps on his mother's breast, she will have hard painful breasts.  Therefore, it's 
important to quickly remove the baby from the breast at the end of a feeding 
and hold him high up near the mother's shoulder for burping to prevent hard 
painful breasts. It's something I never would've thought of, but it was shared 
as a fact. Research?
