Cindy, Thanks for this timely reminder. ALthough I think we, as Lactaton Consultants, all realize that we are not in the business of recommending or giving anyone permission to take a particular drug, it is always worth hearing once again...that women experiencing difficulties should be referred to a physician for medication or problems that go beyond lactation consultation, ie breast lumps. Of course, we can pull out all our references for medications, ie Ruth Lawrence, Auerbach and Riordan,.etc... and send photocopies with the mother to her physician visit, if this would be helpful or appropriate. I have done this many times as a help to a mother faced with procedures or treatments that may not be compatible with breastfeeding.
