What would be the appropriate treatment for a breastfeeding mom with
acute osteopenia?  The end of breastfeeding is not in sight and doc
wants to give her phosomax (sp?) which is contraindicated in
breastfeeding women.  Any ideas?

This doc gets the bedside manner of the year award - "At the rate you
are losing bone density, by the time you are sixty you will be dust."

Thanks.
