I was thrilled to have gotten a message on my machine to call a pediatrician who works at a local clinic. It is a rare treat to actually receive a call from a doctor who wants breastfeeding information. The thrill was short-lived though. The conversation went something like this: Dr. A: I'm calling to find out if you've ever seen milk that has a darker color to it. I assured him that I have and that mother's milk comes in all different shades. Dr. A: Well, that's good to know. I asked him if he's calling because the mother was worried. Dr. A: "Oh not anymore. I put her on Parlodel a few days ago." It was one of these situations where you don't know if you want to laugh or cry from the stupidity. This was after a entire morning of caring for a badly engorged woman who's pediatrician told her to stop nursing 24 hours because the 4 day old infant has jaundice... AND because it is the only way to cure sore nipples.
