Dear Lactnetters,

I got a call from a mom tonight who has a ten day old infant that seems
to be "nursing all the time."  She had a total hysterectomy with her
cesarean and is on Premarin.  What are the implications of the
hysterectomy as well as the medication?  She describes lots of stools
and perhaps a cluster feeding pattern, but I wanted to check further
about the hysterectomy and find nothing in my reference materials.
Haven't ever had this one come up before and was unprepared.

Thanks for your info.
