Women's Health # 139Nov 10, 2026Breastfeeding: What OB/GYNs Need to Know
Can I have a glass of wine? Do I have to pump and dump after my CT scan? Will my antidepressant hurt the baby? Did I fail if we need formula? Every OBGYN hears these breastfeeding questions, sometimes at 3 AM on rounds, and the answers are usually more reassuring than patients expect. On this episode of BackTable Women's Health, Dr. Nicole Faulkner is joined by Dr. Janelle Alvarez, an OBGYN who shares women's health education with more than 40,000 followers as Paging Dr. Alvarez, to help OBGYNs feel ready for breastfeeding questions on rounds, at postpartum visits, and in the patient portal. Dr. Alvarez explains why lactation gets lost in a four-year residency and which parts belong to OBGYNs, which she sums up as breast, meds, and moods. The two then clear up common myths, from pumping and dumping after alcohol, contrast, or anesthesia to the strict criteria for lactational amenorrhea, and show how looking up a medication in LactMed in front of the patient builds trust.
