I've been contacted by a woman facing legal charges involving extended bf,
among other things.  One of the issues is whether or not children who are
sick can tolerate breast milk/breastfeeding even when they can't/won't take
other foods.  If anyone has anecdotal stories or research studies that
discuss this issue, please send them to me by private email as soon as
possible.  Thanks.
        I know there has been some discussion about this before, but could
not find it via the search function.
