<I would suggest you review cabergoline (Dostinex) in my newest book.
It is a cousin of Parlodel but is much, much safer.  It very effectively
(100%) inhibits lactation early postpartum by inhibiting Prolactin.>

I emerge from lurkdom to ask Dr. Hale about this med.  I have a mom who
was given this upon presentation in the gyn ER    with severe
engorgement.  After taking about half the recommended dosage, she called
me asking why her milk is drying up and if it is too late to resume
breastfeeding.  Dr. Hale's book says that the effects are irreversible.
Is it too late to try to relactate?    How long before the drug is out
of her system and we could get her prolactin levels up?  At the moment
she is  pumping about 10 cc's with much effort every 2-3 hours.

I will see her on Sunday and will start her on an SNS.

I like Dianne's game.  How many of us can name the LLL founding 7?
The most fun was putting faces to those famous names at the conference.
Someone should do a  site with names and pics of all the who's who in
breastfeeding.

Esther Grunis, IBCLC, who has so many stories to tell you that I don't
know where to begin, but will save them for Washington next year.  They
are for LC eyes only, not FC reps.  From Tel Aviv where we just had our
first real rain, and maybe can finally put away the summer clothes.
