Gee, I breastfed while on MgSo4 16 1/2 years ago.  Maybe that is why I
ended up with sore, cracked bleeding nipples?? OR was it because I had
lack of knowledge and education and just kept going, until my nurse
practitioner returned my call and gave me some info via the mail??

Just one more *opinion* that is not backed by research based
information!  We still have so much educating to do.  Well, at least the
USA isn't the only place that has to deal with this sort of ridiculous
rationalization!  This mom needs to ask the people who told her this to
show her where in the research she could find more information on
this......maybe they would be embarrassed and stop giving this type of
opinionated advice.
