Let { X t } \left \{ {{X_t}} \right \} be a family of isolated hypersurface singularities in which the Milnor number is not constant. It is proved that there must be a vanishing fold centered at any t = t 0 t = {t_0} at which the Milnor number of the X t {X_t} changes discontinuously. This is much stronger than the condition that the Whitney conditions fail.
