The information that I have found pertaining to the use of this med. to increase
milk supply or stimulate milk ejection seems to be conflicting to me.  One group
will advocate its use rather freely and states that this med can will benefit a
variety of situations.  Then there's another group who says that its use should
be more cautious and it should be used as a last form of treatment.  I am
perplexed!  Which is right?

Do I use it for a mom who is having trouble with let-down and pumping during
full time employment or do I use it in cases of induction/relactation primarily?
How cautious is cautious?

Another question along these lines is:

If you need a mom to get the med and your community and medical support for
breastfeeding is about zero, how do you get it for mom?  I am assuming that you
(and I am being kind here) re-educate the Ped or OB-GYN (which ever is easier I
guess) and hope that they come around before mom quits breastfeeding.  If this
is how it is to be done, I would appreciate any material (referrances) that will
"educate" a Ped that prefers his moms formula feed in the first place and rarely
suggests breastfeeding as an option.  (Maybe our formula friends would like to
meet with him?)

(I can't stop myself...look out!)
And a word for my friends with the formula company:

My very allergic son with skin rashes that never go away and asthma that
continues to worsen is a perfect example of your blatant disregard for consumers
in the aggressive marketing of your products.  My son had every formula
available and had trouble with all of them; he could never keep them down or he
would react to them in other ways.  My uneducated Ped at the time kept referring
me to other formulas and never once suggested a LC or relactation (you do your
job well)!  My fourth is now 18 months old and has never had formula touch her
lips.  I am sure you didn't notice one less formula fed baby in your profits but
guess what, I am planning another and I have several friends and family memebers
who haven't started having children yet who are very aware of my ordeal.  Get
the picture?

Sorry, I guess I was overcome with emotion!  My apologies to fellow LACTNETTERS.
