Janice,

    I was angry when I saw this.  I am not a hospital nurse, but I am hoping
and praying that this was just another poor presentation of breastfeeding
issues by national TV.  Remember the lovely killing your baby by breastfeeding
story lines they had a few years ago? (It is scary because these medical shows DO
have medical experts for authenticity).  It did make me wonder if ace bandage
wraps were making a comeback!

Trivial question:
Tonight on ER, a baby died stillborn (I'm not sure how many weeks).
Afterwards, they showed the mom having her breasts ratherly tightly bound with wide
bandages.
Do they still do this to prevent the milk from coming in???
