I think this lady needs an attorney, fast. Can they tell you to stop eating red meat? or drinking cokes? or coffee? or other "potentially" hazardous habits. Breastfeeding is a GOOD thing that promotes good health. How is being at risk from mastitis any different than being at risk for any illness? you are exposed to germs everywhere. Stop going out in public? Ooh, I'm really appalled at this one.
