This is insane:

1. B. Pertussis is not sensitive to septra as far as I know.  Maybe I'm
wrong.
2. Antibiotic treatment of pertussis does not treat the illness and does not
prevent development of the illness unless given very early.
3. Septra can cause diarrhea just as easily as erythromycin.
4. There is no reason for the mother to (oh damn) pump and dump.  How much
more septra will the baby get from the milk?  He's already to get it
directly for crying out loud.
5. It's okay to nurse during the night and not during the day?  Why?  If
it's okay at night, it's okay during the day.  Is septra perhaps light
sensitive?
6. The mother is quite right about breastfeeding keeping this baby going.
