who insist (with considerable guilt) that EVERY woman can be adequately lactating sufficient to the needs of their child and imply that those who "fail" were just not trying hard enough are ... not.. in my book. I' have seen some who insist even with women who have developed the most severe purulent mastitis in both breasts until a physician, fortunately, stepped in. In those instances--with MRSA infection and post abscess drainage-- even the use of vancomycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or doxycycline (Pregnancy Class D drugs excreted in breast milk and thus a BIG "no no" for infants to continue breastfeeding) did not deter this adamant, well-meaning (yet very wrong) group from continuing to advise women to nurse. Most are not like that, fortunately, and perform an important service to many women seeking to breastfeed.
