One of our LC's got a call from a patient who has been complaining about
edema since delivery (I believe).  The baby is over a year old, has been
weaned completely for two weeks.  The patient's doctor told her the edema
was caused by bf--and she still has it now.

I cannot understand how bf would cause edema.  Is there a good
physiological explanation or is he just lying it at the feet of bf by
mistake?
