Ethical question.  You have been "consulted" by email by the neice of 
an old school friend.  Formerly pre-term third baby, CGA 3 months, 
exclusively breastfed, mother describes colicky symptoms with good 
weight gain, you take an exhaustive history and various items suggest 
possible cow's milk protein sensitivity.  You discuss the value of 
exclusive breastfeeding and affirm what the mother seems to be doing 
now, suggest cut down or eliminate dairy/beef.  Mother and baby seem 
happy.  A month later you read on Facebook that mother has just 
started baby on solid foods - CGA now 4 months.  So now you know 
about this, although the mother hasn't asked your advice.  What do 
you do?  Write a friendly note saying you've just seen the pics of 
baby covered in food, and this isn't a good idea?  Or wait until she 
asks for your opinion??
