Hello all:
I am posting this question with permission of the family involved. A mother of
a six-week-old is planning to return to work soon. Her mother will be caring for
her infant. Although mom is pumping, she is wanting to form a back up plan in
case she doesn't leave enough bottled milk. The baby's grandmother wants to
be able to nurse the baby instead of giving formula. Grandma nursed both of
her children in the mid-80's for about 6 -9 months each. She had a
hysterectomy about 2 years ago because of endometriosis. They inquired with
their family doctor about using reglan to boost supply and were referred to the
mom's ob/gyn. The appointment is pending. Do any of you have any
information and/or suggestions? I am not sure if the history of hysterectomy
will affect this woman's ability to relactate. She is 45 and the baby's mom has
just turned 22. Many thanks.
