I have a mom who is nursing fine but is having anxiety problems.  She has a
17mo old at home (not nursing thatbaby) and she is nursing her newborn
without problems.  Her OB put her on 25 mg of Zoloft which is not helping.
Her internal med Dr. wants her to see a Psychiatrist so she can get "proper
treatment for the anxiety". She has been calling me to make sure the meds,
thus far, have been okay for nursing.  We talked about T. Hale's book and I
read her exerpts on dosages,etc.  She was hoping this would help to empower
her when she went to the Psychiatrist.
  Well......when he started his lecture on how she would have to stop nursing
and she needed to throw out her Dr. Sears attachment parenting baloney, she
nearly had a break down.  She shared the information we discussed with this
Dr. and he told her I was misinformed and that who ever wrote such a book was
misinformed.  Hmmmmm..... (Unfortunately, she left this message on my machine
and when I returned the call she was not at home. I will catch up with her on
Monday.  I did leave her a message telling her I would do what I could to
help her find a different approach)

Anyone know a GOOD Psychiatrist in the Ft. Lauderdale area (she lives in the
Pembroke Pines area), maybe north Miami area?

Thanks!   Pam Hendrix, RN, IBCLC, ICCE
