=============
Please forgive me if this has already been addressed.  I have a close family member in her late 20s who has been recently diagnosed with Lupus.  Coincidentally, I received this email from Women's Health.gov talking about Lupus.  I was very saddened to read this:

"Can I breastfeed if I have lupus?

Breastfeeding is possible for mothers with lupus. Some medicines can pass through your breast milk to your infant. Talk to your doctor about whether breastfeeding is safe if you are using any medicines to control your lupus. Breastfeeding also can be very tiring because breastfed babies eat more often than formula-fed babies. If the demands of breastfeeding become too much for you, think about breastfeeding only some of the time. Pumping breast milk to be used later also might help."

Is this really true?  What an aweful disease.  Sadly, Dana
