That reminded me of a discussion I had with a breastfeeding dcm. Anytime she'd eat dairy, her baby would have runny diarrhea. We had had several discussions about it, she knew how dairy affected him and yet continued to eat it because, you know....she craved dairy and couldn't help herself. Ugh! After he had one particularly nasty bout and it literally poured out of his diaper and all over my playroom rug for the umpteenth time, my frustration was obvious. When I told her what happened - yet again, she told me, "You know he can't help it. He's just a baby." Before I could stop myself, I replied with, "No! But you can!! This can not keep happening!" Didn't have that problem again. Wish I had spoken up sooner!
