Yes, another sacrifice on the altar of ignorance.   A very proud new
grandfather was telling me his grandaughter was just born.  She was a very
big and strong 9lbs+.  I asked if the mother was breastfeeding and he said
that she wanted to but her OB told her that the baby's suck was too strong.
 That the baby would damage her breasts if allowed to breastfeed.  I actually
thought our breastfeeding support group had gotten this area's doctors past
this type of insanity.  Maybe this one fell through the cracks?  :(
