A friend of mine just delivered a week ago and her midwives are suggesting that she go on a combo pill. They assured her that although BEFORE it was thought that there were adverse effects on milk supply- THEY (?) now know that it is not as adverse as it was thought to be. I have been out of the loop for a year (returned to school) but this is new on me. Did I miss something? Does anyone know what "new research" they might be referring to? Wendy Knighton P.S. Don't panic - she is following my suggestion of non hormonal alternatives. After all, she had an RN tell her to supplement at the hospital and the pediatric PA try to give her formula samples "just in case" for her 8-12 son who nursed beautifully within minutes of birth. And I thought that I had made progress in the three years I worked as an LC there - sigh.
