I would try to contact the Lancet Infectious Diseases directly, through an alternative media to see if this article, the author & the requestor are legitimate. What is the focus of the article? And why do they need a free photo? Why can't they pay a model or a 'real mom'? Maybe I'm just suspicious, but something about this strikes me as a little odd. The first listing on a Google search is this one: http://infection.thelancet.com/ Phyllis > I received this email and was wondering what you all think. If I could get a > few opinions I'd really like them. I asked her [the sender] to give me a > copy of the article to review. My concern is that the article is against bf > or degrades it in some way.
