I had a Mom who is 2 days postpartum She was on Mag sulfate and had retained placenta that was manually removed by OB. Mother's baby bili is 13 and climbing. Baby sometimes nurses and other times does not. Baby is to be PC'd with 30 cc formula because of jaundice. Baby also getting sleepy and sluggish. Mom has been pumping 15 minutes before feeds and 10 minutes post. No milk is pumped. I am afraid that there are still placental fragments. If there is then because of the progesterone she will not produce milk. OB doesn't agree because she isn't bleeding heavily. I showed OB info in Lawrence's book and Auerbach. He feels D&C would might leave her infertile. Does anyone know of any good literature on the subject that I could present to the OB? Does anyone else have thoughts about this scenario?
