I think the problem is that there aren't good explanations being given to
the mother as to why they are being prescribed. I think the teaching here is a
bit on the flimsy side. She needs to know just "why" the doc thinks she'll
bleed to death if she breastfeeds -- not just that she will.
I sorta feel as though this is back to the "don't you worry your pretty
little head about a thing -- I'm the health professional, and I'll take care of
you. Just do what I say."
Saw enough of that (was taught that was how it was to be) back in the dim
dark recesses of my nursing school past.
