Hi, Kathleen and Rachel:  I don't see any difference between my next door 
neighbor asking me what she could take for a headache and me recommending 
CAPNO to a nursing mom.  Obviously, if, using my nursing judgement, I feel the 
next door neighbor or the nursing mom might need a prescription medication, I 
will refer them to their doctors for further evaluation.
I would much prefer a mom ask me for advice, than to hear that she went to 
the drugstore and just started pulling medications from the shelf and trying 
them herself.
My docs also know me well enough that they will refer a mom back to me for 
the "recipe" or call themselves, asking for my input as to what the best 
medication might be.
Also, my moms are very Internet-savvy.  They know that APNO is out there 
and they know how to go about getting it.  Again, I feel much more 
comfortable with a mother using APNO under some medical (mine) supervision, 
than none at all.
