    Does anyone have any experience using this homeopathic remedy in a
>bf mom and newborn?.

Paula, homeopathic remedies are safe for breastfeeding mothers and their
babies because, if you understand homeopathy, you understand that there is
"nothing" there that could harm anyone.  This absence of "active
ingredients" is the major source of skepticism of homeopathy on the part of
pharmaceutical medicine.

Arnica would be a good remedy for the healing of the mother you are working
with, as it is good for all kinds of bruises and tissue trauma. My dentist
gave me some after my one hour of work last Tuesday.

I am not highly knowledgeable about the practice of homeopathy, but I do
know that it is safe, so I feel comfortable when a mom asks about its use.
