I have a mother in my NICU who was diagnosed prenatally with  cardiomyopathy, 
chronic hypertension and possible pre-eclampsia. She has been  told by her 
cardiologist that she should not breastfeed/pump because of her  medical 
condition. Mom does not feel that he is saying this because of  medications. I cannot 
find anything in the literature that would suggest that  lactation would be 
contraindicated with maternal cardiac issues. Any  thoughts?
