Debbie and All, Read page 232 in Breastfeeding & Human Lactation. For A&D it
states , "For external use only. In case of ingestion, contact a poison
control center. There are no vitamins in this ointment." When I took a job at
a Texas hospital 3 years ago, they were still using A&D!!! I had to go before
a commitee and present why it should be changed to Lansin__. Sadly, I know of
at least one other hospital in my area that is still using A&D!!! You are
right about the over 50 age group. They are the ones that keep ordering it!!!
I think about the movie What about Bob, where the phrase Baby Steps, Baby
Steps is used!!!! Change comes about slowly sometimes!! Denise Hewson RN
