Chris:

  while agreeing in principle, lactnet is also a place for us to discuss our
frustrations one to give voice to them and two- to get assistance from our
collegues and comrades, including the physicians among us, on how to best
work through these issues..

  I had a discssion with a physician this week regarding his patient whom he
told not to bf while she was frebrile.. although agreeing with me that the
germs mom was exposed to were present before she was symptomatic and that the
baby would be getting antibodies from the milk he none the less informed me
that he does not want to any chances and does not want women with fevers to
breastfeed.. it will only be a couple of days you know...

  While you certianly practice differently and Jack would say ARGH>>>>> I am
left wanting to bash my head against the wall until I find a way to either
convience him that maybe this is not in his patients interest or see enough
of his patients to convience them to disregard him - certianly not a prefered
option but ...

  I am open to suggestions..

     Patricia
