Our moms on MgSO4 breastfeed right from the beginning, w/ the blessing of the NICU/peds people. No problems. After all, the babes have been exposed in utero, n'est pas?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
