Tiare,
I worked with a breastfeeding mother for a couple of years as she was in the
same situation. In fact, the meds she needed were listed L3 and she sent
samples of her milk to Dr Hale for testing.
She continued to take the meds and breastfed successfully for 3 years last
time we corresponded.
She may be willing to correspond via e-mail with your client if that would
be helpful...
contact me off list and I will ask her if I can share her e-mail address.
Laura

Hello everyone. I have permission from this mom to post. I have a mom w=

regression of symptoms with pregnancy (and has indeed experienced this) b=

was wondering if breastfeeding also helps to alleviate some of the sympto=
ms=20
of MS. She is very pro-breastfeeding and doesn=92t want to use formula b=
ut her=20
doctor is telling her that he wants her back on her medication ASAP after=

birth and is recommending that she not breastfeed. The medication is an =

so I=92m not sure why she can=92t both breastfeed and take her medication=

although this doctor also made the comment that with all the new technolo=

out there they must have made a formula that is just as good as breastmil=

now :(. I though I saw a recent post about breastfeeding and MS symptoms=

but couldn=92t find it in the archives. If anyone has any information to=

that would be wonderful. This mom wants to have something to take to her=
