I just got off the phone with a mom who was engorged because she had tried
to abruptly wean her 13 mo because the ped had expressed concern over the
little girls breast buds.  Mom states that child has always had buds, but
this is the first time that it was brought up as a concern.  Ped stated
that she thought that it is something that they should watch and that
perhaps the nursing had something to do with it.  Baby only nurses 3 times
a day and all of those are during the night.  Last night was most
uncomfortable for both of them.  Baby wailed until 4 AM and mom's breast
are ready to burst.  I told mom to nurse, one more day would not make a
difference and I was pretty confident that nursing had nothing to do with
the breast buds, and said that I would check here to see what I could find
as support for that position.  Dad is an MD and would appreciate
the "proof".   I check the archives and got some comments on the subject
from Jack Newman from 2000.  Anybody have anything specific on this topic.
Thanks.
