Need help,

Had a call from a mom this morning who has been advised by her physician to wean
her child who has been breastfeeding for the past fifteen months.  The mother
has not had a period, but recently has had some spotting, with back pain.  Her
physician has told her that she needs to stop and be placed on estrogen to bring
her menses on.  Mom does not want to stop.  She feeds only in the evening and
during the night. Any suggestions for this mother would be helpful.  What are
some of your opinions on her taking estrogen????.

Thanks in advance.
Janice Lee-Clement, IBCLC
