I to had a mom come to me with a similar problem. She asked which formula to use b/c she had to wean her baby by her internist instructions since she has being put on thyriod meds. I informed her she didnt need to wean and fortunately her internists and endocrinologist were receptive to my info.
It really bugs me when adult physicians tell a mom not to breastfeed on a medication and dont consult me. In two cases moms had completely stopped over the med (Cipro once and valproic acid once) and it was a few weeks before I found out.
Another mom contacted me that day about Keflex after her doctor said to pump and give formula while taking Keflex!
The ignorance amazes me!
Is it better to BF on thyroid meds or give formula defficient in nucleic acids and DHA?
Ill end before I get more blunt than Dr Jack
I now mention this in BF class.
