In our facility, mag is not concidered a contraindication to immediatly begin breastfeeding. Like most - we do see the kids demonstrating the typical "mag drag" behaviour for the first 24 hours post delivery but they still nurse. Have never had a Dr. here tell a mom she can't immediatly breastfeed after delivery due to mag infusion- even if she remains on it for 24-48 hours post delivery.
