I just gave a lecture at our annual symposium.  One of my topics was  on 
medications and mother's milk, and I pointed out some of the common   assumptions 
vs research that LC's face.....namely pediatricians who refuse  to order 
nystatin for babies (whose mother's have thrush of the nipples) because  the 
pediatrician states the baby does not have any symptoms.
 
Sure enough, a pediatrician in the audience challenged me and stated he  
refuses to give nystatin to asymptomatic babies because "we all have  yeast".  I 
listened politely and then stood my ground, stating that  research supports 
both mother and baby being treated, eventhough only one has  symptoms.  Of 
course, I used the latest work by Kay Hoover as one of my  resources.  
 
He went to my boss and demands to see MORE research, stating Kay Hoover is  
not objective and not even a nurse. (Oh brother... give me a break!)
 
So, Dr. Newman or Dr. Wight, if you are out there and know of any research  
(especially done by doctor), that I can give to this pediatrician to shut him  
up, I would appreciate a private email....or anyone else who can shed some  
light....
 
Thanks in advance.
