Excuse me?  Just pump and dump for two weeks because it's standard
procedure?  Whose standard procedure?  And what kind of a reason is that
anyway?  I've not heard of anything so wickedly ignorant for a long time and
I've heard a lot.  How is she going to just wean for 2 weeks a 9 month old
baby?  What harm could come to the baby from nursing?  And what harm could
come from forced weaning?  The answer to the latter is: plenty.  And what
harm to the mother?  Don't know.  What sort of surgery could she be having
that could be so influenced by breastfeeding?
