Lisa, I'm glad you are there to give this young mom support. Since it looks like she's going to bottle feed her baby while she's on the meds, perhaps you could suggest she put the baby to breast after she has pumped (and after the baby has been bottle fed). That way the baby will get comfort from suckling at the breast and stay bonded to the breast. Thereby, we hope, easily and happily return to breastfeeding when she goes off the meds. I think it's important for this mom to know how important breastfeeding is to her baby, not just for the milk he gets, but also because it represents his mother's love for him. Let us know how this situation turns out. Mary Cummins, M.Ed., IBCLC private practice/ Scottsdale, AZ
