I have a mom from the local military hospital who is breast feeding a 6-7
month old. She has had 2 relapses of her MS in the last 2 months and her
physician is encouraging her to wean so that she can be put on a new
medication. She is reluctant to wean right now for multiple reasons
including the one that doing bottles is harder and more stressful for
her. I would like to hear from anyone who has helped a mom with MS and
what strategies/medications were found to keep mom and baby a "nursing
couple"
