hi all
really quick question - a mom with a history of ppd has called to ask about
a "safe" sleep-aid, babe is 1wk, born at 38wks gest. I would usually say
breastfeeding, massage, all the easy tricks that come to mind,etc.. but that
isn't doing the trick. denies anxiety but "can't sleep". she is open to herbals,
homeopathy, as well as allopathic
meds. she is thinking that some sleep might help ward off a downward spiral -
i am watching her closely, she is someone i know outside my professional life,
have already been candid with her about the possible need to use anti-
depressants if necessary, pretty sure covered most of the bases but she will
see her
family doc tomorrow and wants to go in prepared, she has already spoken to
her midwife. I want to say that the info, whether or not it is what she wants
to hear, is complete and this is the best place i know for that!
thanks
i'm looking through ny Hale right now
beth
