I would like any input I could get for a mom who called today. She has a 5 month old infant who has not tolerated any formula well. He was fussy from birth, and she breastfed him for 19 days. Since he was fussy, she decided it would be okay to switch him to formula. So far he has not tolerated anything well, cows milk based, soy, goats milk, .... and she now has him on Nutramigen with Karo syrup because he will not drink it without sweetener. He still cries constantly and spits up frequently. She is considering trying to relactate for this child. But , her husband is against it and says she MUST stay on birth control pills. She is now taking the combination ones, but would switch to the "mini-pill" if it would help with relactation. She is willing to change pills and pump every three hours. She is willing to take fenugreek, but not Reglan. She is willing to try an SNS. Has anyone had experience with a mom trying to relactate and also take BCPs? Does anyone think she has much of a chance of producing milk after 4 months of not nursing and taking the pills? She will NOT consider banked milk because her husband thinks it would be unclean, and there is no guarantee that the donor has not consumed dairy which she feels is the reason her baby was fussy at her breast. Sure would like some help with this one. Mom is pondering over the weekend whether she wants to try.... Ann Calandro, RNC, IBCLC North Carolina
