I have it easy disagreeing with doc about breastfeeding as I am one and the
questions are usually about material meds.
I've told parents that my impression is lactating women are kind of like
pregnant women in that nobody what to do anything to them during this time.
I've also started telling breastfeeding mom during the 2 week visit that
most meds are OK and check with me if they are unsure or told they can't
breastfeed during a treatment.
Tough question is when moms ask me if its OK to breastfed while pregnant.
Then I can emphasize with the LC's
