Hi
I am new to this list, I am a BfN Registered Breastfeeding Supporter with The 
Breastfeeding Network (a UK charity).

My question is about Bromocriptine.  A mum with a 8 month old has been given 
this to stop her milk supply.  I know that it is not used in US and Canada and 
it is rarely used in UK because of risk to the mum.

She is incredibly engorged and one way to elleviate this is breastfeed (she is 
finding expressing difficult), but I am not sure if that is Ok for the baby.  I 
have looked at archives and think that transfer to breatmilk is low.

She has taken 2 doses of 2.5mg, one yesterday and one today at 8am (it's 
now 11.30am).

Thoughts?

Thanks
