A few days ago a mom of one of my patients called me from a hospital were I do not have privileges. She was being admitted for gallbladder surgery. Her baby is 4 months old and breastfeeding well. Mom had questions about breastfeeding with pain meds and post anesthesia. I told her as soon as she felt able post op it was OK to breastfed and gave Ruth Lawrence's book as a reference for her doc. Two days later mom told me her doc said "you will not breastfed for ten hours" Mom had given him my message. Breastfeeding was to be sacrificed at the altar of ignorance, first church of arrogance (unreformed). However mom canceled the service as dad brought her the baby post op and she breastfed. :-) -Rob *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
