Dear Collegues.
I have permission to post. This mom was not going to breastfeed and formula
fed her baby the first 3 postpartum days until her milk came in. She received a
depo provera shot before discharge. Her milk came in and she began to
breastfeed. She has had to supplement up to 3 ounces after feeding both
sides. She was given a pedal pump from her peer counselor and she can pump
1/2 ounce after feeding both sides.
My question to you is do you think Reglan could help her? I would let her use a
hospital grade pump but they are all out. I only have three rentals and they
are out most of the time and I never collect any rent. It seems the most
needy are the ones that aren't able to afford to rent. I suggested mothers'
milk tea or the herbs if unable to take tea. I also suggested the Reglan from
her physician. She would not be able to afford Domperidone from a compound
pharmacy.
Baby is growing well and her weight is up as well.
My email has changed. I have tried to do it on Lactnet but am having
technical difficulty. I have tried to forward everything to my work address
because it is so much faster. Please email me at [log in to unmask] if possible.
Thank you,
Theresa Klein RN IBCLC RLC
