Dawn writes: The authors concluded that progestin-only contraception initiated in the early postpartum period had no adverse effects on breastfeeding rates.[31] ~~~ Unless breastfeeding exclusivity, not just "any" breastfeeding being taken as "rate" consistency, was measured, the fact that moms were still breastfeeding at 6 weeks doesn't really tell us all that much. It seems like this is where MDs and midwives feel comfortable prescribing, but we see something very different in our practices...And thanks Dawn, I think it is helpful to know. If we can talk to one mom about being aware of the potential, it helps...:) Peace, Judy Judy LeVan Fram, PT, IBCLC, LLLL Brooklyn, NY, USA [log in to unmask] *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
