I am not sure it would indicate an assumption or "stigma" of MI necessarily, though in this particular case it might. I post actively on a nursing mother's website (though I haven't nursed in many years, when i joined the site I was still nursing my first baby!). We constantly see new members with questions like "is it OK to take Benadryl? Sudafed? Claritin? Zantac? This or that antibiotic?" and the so on and on, all of which are covered in the book - in fact it covers pretty well everything.

As for giving it at the shower - well, it's the only thing I could afford to buy as a gift if I did it, the book's pretty expensive ($35 on Amazon!). But you are probably right that giving it privately would be better...
