Hi Susan, how long since the motilium started? Can take up to a week to get good response. I would consider supply line rather than bottling the suppliments especially as it may be for a prolonged time. How is her iron level? Maybe iron suppliments and a multivitamin as well as expressing

Hi all, I have just started working at a new health facility that tends to give hep B injections on day 2 or 3. I have come from a facility that gives hep B at birth when vitamin k is given. Can anyone shed some light as to why the might do it this way. Any articles. They seem to not know why

Sounds like an activity to take your mind off the other pain, although many years ago I attended a forum on Chinese medicine and the medical doctor who spoke, encouraged people to tap the lower 3rd of the sternum daily for good health. I did it for a while but felt no different. Regards

The place I work we give it when we do the NST. It was a midwife decision not an evidence based one. Like giving it with the vit K it is easier to do it at a predictable time so that it doesn't get overlooked. The midwives wanted not to do it at birth as they were wanting to do as little
