I wrote a couple weeks ago about my good friend Melinda, who was in the process of weaning her 6-month-old baby, on the advice of her neurologist, in order to resume taking her MS drug. In my bumbling way, I tried to express to her my support for making tough, necessary decisions. A (one-time?) reader of this blog was kind enough to leave a comment on that post, in which she linked to some pharmacology studies and encouraged Melinda to discuss them with her neurologist before stopping breastfeeding.
Melinda (let me know if you don’t want me talking about you anymore 
) wrote me last week to say that, after researching and talking further with her doctor, she has been able to resume breastfeeding. I am so glad! Isn’t knowledge a beautiful thing? And blogs, and commenters on blogs — they are beautiful too! Good. That’s one addiction I won’t be needing to overcome any time soon.
