Our CRNAs and MDAs administer Sufenta through the epidural catheter for
Cesarean births.  I've also administered IV Valium for conscious sedation
for moms having a postpartum D & C (retained placenta or placenta accreta).
 They've nursed their babies fine.  Sounds like poor advice from
professionals who should know better.  Looking forward to Dr. Jack's
comments too.

Been sick for a few days...can you tell I'm feeling better???
