Hi All, Have a questsion for our Illustrious new writer. :) (You should write a book for fun! I'll bet it would be hilarious!) My good friend, vicarious lurker Karen Evon, IBCLC, has a client who has a bad case of diagnosed PPD. Baby is now 2 wks old, and mom just had a nasty panic attack. Her Dr has her on Prozac 20mg a day. No cautions have been given to the mom about BF while on Prozac. Because of the panic attack, Dr has her on one dose only of Xanax, .5 mg. Dr told her to pump and dump for 24 hrs. Question is, is this neccessary? We know that if a mom is on Xanax for an extended period that it is not OK, but what about a one time dose only? Also, here is a kinda funny one for the rest of y'all. Another client is experiencing lots of noise while pumping. The breastshield on the pump she is using, Lactina double, make... well, they make burpy/farty noises when she pumps. Granted, if this was at home where there was no one around to hear it wouldn't be so bad. But this is happenening while at work! And there are many co-workers around with only those shoulder high dividers to sheild her. Needless to say, she is getting a lot of funny looks, and some questions! Mom is laughing about it, but would really like some advice on how to stop this, ASAP. So PLEASE, send us your ideas! What have you found that fixes this? TIA, a whole bunch!!! Jay PS As far as the PC problem goes, I have been told to talk to her and let her know what she is doing, and that it needs to stop, NOW. When she refuses to listen to what I am trying to teach her, I am to send her to other LC's in the area so that my info can be verified, and after several times of doing this, she should start to realize that I do know my stuff, and that if I don't, I say I don't. I will be ending the personal relationship since it is obvious to me and others (thanks for the insights, my friends!) that the friendship is putting a serious strain on the business relationship, a strain that is causing serious problems. She seems to believe that since I am a friend, she can argue with me in her fashion, which is not appropriate. She does NOT behave this way with my supervisor, who is an IBCLC. Her personal life roller-coaster has spilled over into our friendship and business relationship, making it almost impossible to work with her, and at this point, I am not willing to ride her roller-coaster of life with her. Been there, done that, never want to be there again! Will let you know how our conversation goes. I haven't talked to her yet, because I am still too upset. When I calm down, then I can be more appropriate and professional in dealing with this problem, and leave the emotional attachments behind. Thanks to everyone for their advice, it really helped me to put things into perspective. You are wonderful, and I thank my lucky stars that I found Lactnet! And Evi, who knows where I find these turkeys?? They seem to find me! I must be a magnet for large stupid birds! (No offense meant to the real Turkeys of the world!) Love you all! Jay
