Some thoughts--If dislocated hips are caused by nursing, why isn't it a
growing epidemic as more and more mothers breastfeed?? Anyway, I
thought relaxin was associated with pregnancy, not nursing.
If this mother is in pain, she'll have a lot more trouble bottle feeding
than breastfeeding--unless she hands over all the baby's care to someone
else.
Warmly,
