On the news program this A.M., March issue of Pediatrics has study
showing 14% incidence of fever in epidural group, 1% in control group.
We've seen these fevers with epidurals, now the public knows.  Nothing
was said about the potential interference with bf, but the risks
involved with unnecessary abx and increased medical costs were
discussed.
