I looked at the link for the story and I was thinking there is a lot missing.
 Do any of the pharmacists on our list know how much meth actually gets into
the milk?
I am wondering if someone gave this directly to the baby and not through the
breastfeeding.  I thought of the story of the baby who came to the ER in
cardiac arrest from cocaine and the mother denied using cocaine but then
found out she was given cocaine and applied it to her nipples because they
were sore.
Newspapers sure do like to be sensational.
