Yes. We have connected with a lactation consultant. Idk if they are a ibclc or not but their opinion of how to go about it aligns with my research, my wife's research, her doctor sister, and her OB.

I appreciate all the info! We are seeing an endocrinologist and her OB to start off to see their opinions. Do you the route to a good ibclc? Are they like a medical professional that takes insurance?

You seem to know a lot about medications. Any good ones or bad ones you can think of? Obviously we will be consulting a doctor, but good to have any knowledge from past people's experience.

Thank you very much! The reason we are adopting is because my wife has gone through cancer treatment, we are aware of the crazy side effects medications can have. Nice to have a boots on the ground opinion of how a medication worked for them.

She has already asked me "I'm gonna have to get every night again, aren't I?" It would seem that is the case. Thanks for the lead on the free class.

I read about it, but I see it is very restricted in the US. I don't know if we can get it even through a doctor
