Please help! I have a mom who is breastfeeding her 6 month old and needs to  
have surgery on her elbow.  The orthopedic dr told her that she would have  to 
wean her baby before he would perform the surgery because the same hormones  
that relax the pelvis are still in her body because she is breastfeeding and 
she  won't heal fast enough.  I read that relaxin is high in the milk but do 
you  think this is what he means?  I told her to ask him for the reference he is 
 using but she wanted me to post to see what you'all say!  
Thanks!
Claudia Globerger RN/IBCLC
