Brother, I actually missed the original post, but damn right I had a
seizure.  What kind of noodnik would even consider telling a mother not to
breastfeed after a dT shot?  Like hellooo!  Okay, consider it.  Think about
it, and then say, well the baby got her DTP x months ago.  And the tetanus
toxoid and diptheria toxoid, even if they did get into the milk, which is
unlikely, would cause no harm if taken by mouth.  Or by injection, for that
matter.  And after consideration, tell the mother it's "Of course it's okay.
Breastfeeding is to important to sacrifice on the altar of my ignorance."
