Motilium (Domperidone) is used in Canada as a galactogue not infrequently;
there is a current study underway in London, Ontario, examining its use in
mothers of VLBW infants.

Having just come from the WIC/LLL conference in San Antonio and attending the
excellent lecture by Dr Hale I can report that he also feels that this drug
is good and says that it is waiting for FDA approval.

Hi,

What has research shown about the effects of the newer anti-depressant
medications (e.g., prozax, paxil,
etc...) on breastfeeding methods and their infants.  What dangers are present
and what, if any, are the side
effects for the infants?

Thanks

As far as the SSRI antidepressants hew said that Prozac has several side
effects and the one he like best because of low levels in milk is Zoloft.

Boy am I tired out from so many classes in the last two days!
