A mom called with a 11 month old diagnosed with Rotavirus by Ped.
Has only had 3 incidences of Diarrhrea,  plus some vomiting.

Ped. requested immediate weaning, stating that the proteins and fats in
breastmilk were incompatible with this virus.   She wants the baby back on
foods before breastmilk is reintroduced.

I've checked the archives and can't find any recommendations for weaning.
Have also checked BAB and Ruth Lawrence (4th Edit).

Any input on why this baby should be weaned?

Mom would also like any references to site for the Ped.

TIA
