Oh I don't believe that this is a "Lactneters" problem......but I sure do see
it with OBs in our area.  It seems as if they have little knowledge in the
many things that can be done to clear a plugged duct or combat the early
stages of mastitis.

I am very happy to see a list of antibiotics in preferable order for use in
advising when it is truly necessary!  The same OBs that do not know the early
treatments also do not seem to know the antibiotics that are most effective.

Thanks!
