"A new mom called her, concerned about nursing.  She had a fever and had
first talked to her OB about whether or not she could nurse.  He told her
that HER MILK WOULD BE HOT AND WOULD SCALD THE BABY'S MOUTH! He told her to
express her milk into a cup and cool it down, and then give it to her baby!
AAAARRRRGGGHH!!!!"

Why did this mom ask an OB about what her child is being fed? Did she ask
the OB about when to start solids?
Get my point?
Come to think of it I did once see a baby for the 2 week well visit and
first question I was asked was how soon the parents could have intercourse
again.
Since everyone probably will ask me, I said "its usually about 6 weeks but
you should ask the OB" to which mom and dad just looked at each other.
