    I don’t know why you would dilute anything for a baby let alone breast milk. This is really great information for new moms who don’t know the dangers for their newborn. Thank you for sharing

      I agree, this kind of thing is very important to know. Especially for first time parents. It breaks my heart when someone loses something as precious as a child because no one extended the information they needed to succeed. I am considering adding stuff like this to our new Pregnancy page when it publishes at the end of the year.

    How terrible. I didn’t know but why would you dilute breast milk any way? Makes no sense to me.

      It didn’t make sense to me either, but some young people aren’t totally educated when it comes to this stuff. I felt that sharing this might just save a life, and save a parent from accidentally harming their child. It’s sad, but things like this happen.
