Our clinic service delivered a set of triplets last year (naturally conceived and vaginally delivered, I might add) and she did very well breastfeeding those girls - see them in our pediatric clinic now and then ;)

Our lactation consultants say there is no reason not to!

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.
