I have a question about magnesium sulfate. I know that it has been discussed
before, but we need to rewrite protocols in our hospital for breastfeeding
mothers who are on MgSO4. We have allowed moms to nurse on a lower dose, but
still have some staff nurses who are reluctant to allow breastfeeding when
moms are receiving higher doses. Any comments or references?
Also, I have seen many moms recently with cracked nipples that have ended up
with mastitis. I was wondering if applying Bactroban on the nipples in
addition to pure lanolin cream and the usual cracked nipple therapies would
help avoid a mastitis.
One more thing...is the over-the-counter Pepcid AC compatible with
breastfeeding?
Thanks for the help!
