I concur there is no evidence. Either way. Baby has been getting a lot more of it when he/she was in utero. Mom might have trouble holding baby.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier inquiry about the support for homebirths, seems the MD's were right about that one, can't do it due to liability. New dilemma: Anyone know of resources supporting breastfeeding while mom is on MgSO4 therapy. Our pediatricians refuse to allow it, some require a 24 hour waiting period after discontinuation, however one of my docs says he was taught in residency that that practice has no foundation in fact. Can't find references to present to Peds, anyone? Beth Bary CNM Jeffersonville, IN

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.
