Today I was checking the PDR for some info about Bactroban (mupirocin),
a topical antibiotic ointment, when I noticed it advised breastfeeding
be discontinued while using this ointment. This is ridiculous!!  Taking
their logic a step further, we could say that since we wouldn't feed the
baby shampoo, the mother shouldn't wash her hair until baby is
weaned.                                               - Susan Kent
