For those of you who recall the VIrginia case of a newborn breastfed
baby who died last Nov with a high level of Tramadol in his system, I
thought you would want to know that the medical examiner found that
breastfeeding was not implicated. Evidently, either the mother or the
father gave the baby 5 50mg capsules of the medication. The murder
trial started yesterday.There is an article about the trial in today's
Washington Post. The article does not seem to be posted on the paper's
website.
