Hi, All --

Hope you are all preparing for a wonderful and fiery Day of Thanks.  On
another note, I have a couple of questions.

My wife and I are expecting our first little chile harvester on January 3rd.
My wife plans to breast feed.  We have read that the belief that one should
not eat spicy foods while breast feeding is, essentially, an old wives'
tale.  That is, there will certainly be some foods in Mommy's diet that will
upset Baby's stomach, but these may or may not be chiles.  The baby is just
as likely to have an aversion to, say, greasy food or onions or asparagus as
it is to have an aversion to chiles.

Does anyone have any experience with this?  Any information would be a great
help -- remember, this is our first....

Matt
