Hi Natalie,
Quick google search found THanatophoric breast and led to a wealth of breast
cancer and dysplasia info.  Didn't find the specific story you mentioned,
but might be in there.
Hope it helps~

Does anybody have any information or has heard about the phenomenon of
TANATOPHORIC BREAST?  Supposedly the term means from Greek mammary gland
that loves death.  If a child with serious genetic problems is born, his
mother's body secrets something in milk that puts the baby to sleep forever
(essentially kills the baby).  I am not sure if this is an urban legend or a
credible term/ phenomenon.  Any thoughts?
