Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Martha, I was helping a mom in the hospital with breastfeeding today and she was chugging the ice water. The nurse asked her if she wanted more and the mom said yes. I mentioned that it is not good for new mothers to drink ice water and the nurse was pretty snotty with me about it and told the mom that was nonsense. Can you tell me what I can say in a nutshell about WHY it is not good. Even Chinese medicine dictates this rule, but I can't tell anyone why.
