Kathleen:  I would, ever so innocently, ask the doctor for the studies
which show that pedialyte is useful in such circumstances and/or human
milk is harmful.  I would also mention some of the literature which you
have about all the immunologic anti-infective properties of human milk
and wonder how it could be harmful in babies with colds.  Insist on
medical references.  Alicia.  [log in to unmask]
