Hi Lactnuts! Hope everyone had a good Christmas and Happy New Year to
everyone! I am helping a mom that has been given a prescription for ulcers.
Mom has been very sick, still losing weight. Has put off getting the
prescription filled because she was told by pediatrician that she would have
to discontinue breastfeeding when she began the medication. I have not been
able to find out any negative information about it. Dr. Hale or Dr. Newman, do
you know why this med would be contraindicated for a breastfeeding mom? BTW
baby is 9 months old and healthy. Mom called in desperation because she has
been "nursing down" in order to wean, but doesn't really want to do it. Doctor
told mom to just give the baby regular cow's milk. She is going to pick up the
prescription tomorrow (Monday) but is going to hold off until I hear from you
folks. Can you please e-mail me privately as I am currently nomail? I am
backed up from vacation travelling over the holidays and won't be receiving
the Digest for another few days. Thanks in advance for your help!! The med is:
                 PREVACID Lansoprazole. (2) 15 mg capsules daily
