>and my Dr. Hale.  Is Placidyl (ethchlorvynol) compatable with breastfeeding?

>to wean baby off today or tomorrow.  Mom is pumping away, but was finally

>about an hour away from the hosp.)  Someone (don't know who) gave mom a
>"sleeping pill" to help her get the rest she needs.....
>
>        This is actually after the fact, at this point, as the nurses
>have dumped mom's milk that was pumped after the full night's sleep.  I
>am still relatively new at this hospital, so no one asked me.  But after
>saying loudly that "I have references that will answer whether this drug
>would have been safe or not"  I now realize that I lied.  I do not.  Do you?
