Hi, Everyone,

My WBW Open House went great.... the little quiz you helped me with went
well.  It is at work at the moment and I will share it with you soon.

One mom showed up with a 3 week old girl baby.  A few days ago, baby got a
fever and met Dr. in ER.  Swollen little breasts...... she showed me.  They
were still hard and swollen.  Doc prescribed oxicillin and told the mother
that it was caused by her hormones.  Mother is now afraid to breastfeed and
she is an experienced breastfeeding mom.  She says the doc says it is OK to
breastfeed.  I agree ..... do you, out there in Lactnet Land agree.... I told
the mom I would ask you all. ( I also told her about the use of cabbage
leaves, because this little baby looked very peaceful until I touched her
breasts and then she looked worried.)  What do you think ?
