Hello wise ones, (I just love that greeting!)

I'm working with a pregnant mother that has MS. I am gathering
information for her. At this point, her intention is to mostly pump
because she thinks it will be less fatiguing. I've explained how
breastfeeding moms get more sleep but would love to offer more info.

I've found conflicting info. An italian study found that breastfeeding
doesn't protect against relapses. I've asked mom how many relapses she
had before and during the pregnancy and am awaiting her response.

Have any of you worked with moms with Multiple Sclerosis and have any
suggestions?

Thank you,
