Hello, my name is Denise Hewson and I am an RN and IBCLC in Houston Texas. I
work at a local hospital and have a small private practice. I would
appreciate any assistance with the following: I have a patient that is
breastfeeding a 7 week old infant and would like to continue nursing for at
least a year. This patient has lupus and was told by her rhuematologist that
it was not a good idea to breastfeed .  She said it had something to do with
the effects of prolactin on her body. I have tried to find info on this, but
have not found anything to support his statement. I would appreciate any and
all help!! Please e- mail me at [log in to unmask] Thank you D Hewson RN IBCLC
