Carol, thank you for exploring this.  I had concluded that it was the
makers of Reglan who were holding up the approval.  They approve other
"stuff" so readily that often they must recall it quickly.  And yet here's
something that has a good track record in other countries and they are
being extra cautious.  Could it be that a good breasmilk supply is not on
the front burner of their considerations?

Please let us know when we need to write letters.  If we can help choose a
coin with a mother with a baby on her back, surely we can do something here.
