Can Magnesium Sulfate Therapy Impact Lactogenesis?

Wendy Haldeman, MN, CLC

4257 Lincoln Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232 USA.

This case report describes a patient who ingested magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) for approximately four days as a treatment for pregnancy-induced hypertension. Stage II lactogenesis was delayed until the tenth postpartum day at which point the patient's breasts be-came fully engorged. No explanation for this delay was found, other than the possibility that magnesium sulfate treatment impeded lactogenesis. Implications for professionals who care for lactating women are discussed.

Key Words: lactogenesis • magnesium sulfate • pregnancy-induced hypertension
