I have permission to post. My old boss who now is doing LC at Miami Children's Hospital has a problem with several Moms of premies and called me for some input. I also suggested we post to the "Net".
These mommies have low milk supplies. She has them pumping on schedule, ?watching their fluid intake she inquired about the use of Fenugeek and she had Sheila Humphries herbal reference and I had 2008 Hale. Hale states one case of GI bleeding noted in premies. Knowing how my neos react that would make the herb a "nono"
I also suggested she check to see if they had constipation issues since the Metamucil recommendation has helped several of my moms.
Any other suggestions? I asked her to consider a compounding pharmacy for Dom and maybe see if they would use Relan. She won't use Reglan due to the issues of panic and anxiety in some people. Most of her Mommies are Medicaid.
Please help.
Thanks,
