Thought I would share this with you--worth a groan/laugh. A good friend/co-worker is pregnant w/ twins after fertility treatment. Only the best docs, wanted a c-sec. from the time she tried to conceive. Says she wants to BF. At LLLI conf. I pick up various stuff for her, including some lanolin based nipple cream. She states that " I read in a book you are supposed to use vit. E." I told her no, but she didn't believe me, so I bring in Hale's book. She said who is this guy anyway (her brother is a ped. and if there's no M.D. in the name forget it). Also, she complained that there were only two studies cited. Arghh! I pointed out to her that I recently saw a manuscript for a child-care book (long story there) which said it was okay to microwave stored breastmilk, so just b/c you saw it written down.. Also on Vit. E I freaked out when I saw I am taking way too much Vit. E, but since my son is almost 3, and nursing only 2-4 times a day. I think I'm ok, but I immediately stopped taking it.
