I have followed a couple of patients with lupus who breastfed.  They
both (all) did well.  The babies were not colicky, but they could have
been as a significant number of babies are.  On what basis could any
study have shown that breastfed babies are "colicky".  Probably a bunch
of nonsense.

There has probably never been a study done on breastfeeding and lupus.
Let the mother take a chance on life.  There are no guarantees.  A lot
of crap has been written in the books and in studies.  As we all know.
