Ask Dr. Hale

Ask Dr. Hale

Dear Dr. Hale,

I am a lactation Counselor working in the hospital setting. Our labor and delivery floor has recently decided to switch from Duramorph for pain medication for our c-section moms to using Depodur. Do you have any information on breastfeeding? The company can only tell me that it has not been studied and they have no information. This medication requires 48 hours of 0₂ Sat monitoring and will give patients 48 hours of pain control. I am very concerned for my breastfeeding mothers. I am told it is a morphine derivitive and am hoping the rules of morphine will apply. Any info you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Dear Dr. Hale,

What I Learned about Writing from the Shostakovich Symphony Number 5

I recently had an opportunity to share some of my fondest memories from high school with some former classmates. These memories centered around creation, synergism, and a fabulous piece of music: the Shostakovich Symphony Number 5. We were part of an excellent wind ensemble that year. But even for us, the Shostakovich was a bit beyond our grasp. We were all keen to learn it, however, so we persisted.

Healthcare Reform Act - CNN reports that the new Healthcare Reform Act includes information on breastfeeding. On page 1239, the act requires employers to “provide a place other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and that public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk.” Only companies with less than 50 employees can claim an undue hardship.
