Re: lactation From: Raymond Stephen (Stephen.Raymond@dhhs.tas.gov.au) Tue Dec 4 19:16:11 2007 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Joe: "Re: Physicians challenge lawyers' meritless liability suits -- and" Previous message: DoctorJoe@aol.com: "Re: Physicians challenge lawyers' meritle" Taking two oral contraceptive pills per day for the next month will encourage lactation. Stop them just before the birth of the child. Then you can use metoclopramide, as it raises Prolactin, but as Dan has said, look out for side-effects. Frequent suckling will promote lactation also and the La Leche League advice for re-lactation should be followed - i.e. two days spent in bed with the baby suckling continuously. Check out the La Leche League advice or put her in touch with them now.

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.
