Jaye,

I once had a pediatrician call me and say "I was told by XXX that you  
told her she can take her medications and breastfeed.  Did you tell  
her this? The baby is now in the hospital."  I said no, that she  
didn't tell me she was on any medications.  He then listed a whole  
bunch.  It turned out, this woman was a Munchausen's sort of case.  I  
wasn't involved after that, but that's the rumor. Anyhow, even before  
that I have always thought it best to write down my instructions to  
moms because they often are tired and may not remember what I say.   
Then if a doc asks you about some information that you gave someone  
that is not what you said,  you can show him a copy of your  
instruction sheet that you gave her.
