If anyone in the Chicagoland area can tell me where to get Lact-aid drops I
would be more than appreciative.  They are NO WHERE to be found in the
Wheaton area.  Secondly, if anyone is going to grind down the lactase tabs &
mix w/ breastmilk, the dosage, according to the pharmacist w/ whom I
discussed this (no, NOT my dh!!), you use a quarter of a tablet per feed.
