Newman's axiom.  If they can't find a reason for it, they will blame the
breastfeeding.  Now, all of us out there know many many women who have
breastfed.  Is anyone aware of anyone that had severe diarrhea caused by the
hormones of breastfeeding?  Get real!

What you can do if they tell the mother she has to stop breastfeeding?  You
tell the mother to ask for an explanation how the hormones could cause
diarrhea in the mother, and you tell the mother the decision is hers, not
someone else's.

Wouldn't hurt to drink her milk.  Why not?
