Anyone out there familiar with these type of drugs for chronic  hypertension? 
 I worked hard with this mom to get her 4 pound premie  nursing and now I 
hear back from her a month later with baby doing really well,  gaining weight, 
nursing frequently, etc. but mom's hypertension is relentless  and dangerous.  
She is going to doctor today who wants to put her back on  Diovan which is an 
L4 in Hale and she says she will wean abruptly rather than  expose baby to 
this.  I have encouraged her to dialogue with local  neonatologist who is very 
supportive of bfeeding and can usually come up with  alternative drugs to 
maintain bfeeding, but she is reluctant to speak with  him.  Any experience with 
these type of drugs in bfeeding moms?   Thanks, Ann
