Hello Lactnetters, My brief intro: I am currently working as the lactation specialist in a local hospital and preparing to sit for exam (hopefully) next year. I have been lurking for quite some time now. I have a question that draws me from the shadows... Mom of a 4 mos old, bad case of PID, abd surgery including apendectomy. On 4 abx Zithromax, Clindamycin, Ampicillin and Gentamycin. Her MD adv to pump & dump. When I arrived in her room, engorgement was very evident. As we began to pump to relieve her engorgement mom indicated that she felt abd cramping??!! Would the oxytocin be causing this 4 months after delivery in a case such as this? Would pumping be contraindicated? I searched the archives without success. Your input is appreciated. Sincerely, Kathy Amell, LVN, TBE *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
