Nancy, thank you for your post from your scientist friend. In my effort to understand the vocabulary I did see what the concern is, but with actual usage in humans over a number of years, even with extended use as a galactogogue, I accept Dr. Hale's summary and the AAp's classification. I also feel that Dr. Christina Smillie's letter covered our concerns about its use as a galactogogue. I do hope that the issue is resolved without our losing this useful drug that physicians in the Milwaukee area are comfortable with for healthy breastfeeding mothers and babies.
