Hello, I am a new user eager to learn much from the folks working with new
breastfeeding moms.  I am working as a Clinical Specialist (also a women's
health nurse practitioner) for lactation education in a level 2 hospital.  I
completed the 5 day course in Calif put on by Evergreen and learned that
there is much to learn regarding breastfeeding.  I hope to sit for the IBCLC
next year.  Meanwhile, I am constantly challenged with the promotion of
breastfeeding in a hospital that currently only gets about 40-50%
breastfeeders.

I have come to you for assistance.  After searching the archives for
information about lactation and the adopting mother, I was left with some
questions.  There is a woman planning to adopt a baby in December who wishes
to breastfeed (the baby will be born at our hospital and she wishes to room
in with the baby).  I looked in the Riordan book:  it recommended the Depo,
Reglan + Thorazine regimen along with pumping.  Her GYN nixed the Thorazine
due to possible side effects.  Now, after reading the archives I have
learned that Reglan can cause significant problems with depression and
anxiety.  Is there any wisdom you could offer that would provide other
options?

Thanks in advance for any responses:
Nancy Hoehn, MSN, RNC, WHNP
