Hey Doc...

[wcoyote]

Have there been any studies that indicate problems with women who are lactating and SCUBA diving?

My wife and I both dive and we are wondering...She has been out of the H2O during the pregnancy and wants to get back under H2O.

Please share with us your expert :doctor: advice.
Thanks

Hi Wcoyote:

I'm not aware of any specific studies regarding breastfeeding and scuba, but Dr. Campbell answered questions about breastfeeding and diving for a reader of Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine. You can read his excellent response at http://www.scubadiving.com/training/medicine/afterflying.shtml#breast .
