Is this one on the stupid reasons not to bf list yet, Dr. Jack?
Just this am, one of the bf mentor moms who works for me reported the
following:
A new mom called her, concerned about nursing. She had a fever and had
first talked to her OB about whether or not she could nurse. He told her
that HER MILK WOULD BE HOT AND WOULD SCALD THE BABY'S MOUTH! He told her to
express her milk into a cup and cool it down, and then give it to her baby!
AAAARRRRGGGHH!!!!
(And people question how my job could possibly be frustrating!)
