I personally think it is more a case of "Our formula now is just like
breastmilk so who needs the real stuff??" rep running around....

That said, I heard from another LC who asked me to ask if anyone has ever
heard of PUPPPS (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy) being
related to breastfeeding?  She has a mom that got it postpartum with the last
baby, and she tolerated it for 4 weeks then weaned -- the papules went away
almost immediately.  With this baby, it started at 36 weeks of pregnancy, and
got progressively worse.  Her doc told her it was related to prolactin and to
stop bf, so she did at 3 days.  Yesterday was day 4, and she was still
miserable, but they will be interested to see what transpires.

Any ideas?
