     After reading this, I felt the need to share this story.  My sister-in-
law weaned both children very early because of massive thrush.  She is very
organized, compulsively.  I did not live near her, but I could easily see her
feeding her babies for 5 minutes on each side.  I always chalked it up to her
being an uppity yuppy mom, but perhaps this is what happened in her case?  I
wonder how we could do a study on this one?
