I had a busy day today and had three questions from parents that I had to tell them that I'd have to read up on. Maybe you can help. Question 1. The mom of a 9 mo. and 4 yr. old healthy children called to say that they were leaving on vacation to Colorado and would be at an elevation of 7000 ft. above sea level. Mom had been told that she should give the children aspirin to prevent against altitude related illnesses. I had never heard of this. The closest I could come up with is to prevent the microhemorrhages in High Altitude Pulmonary Edema but don't know if this would even apply. Do you? Question 2. A pregnant woman with silicone breast implants asks if it's OK to breast feed her baby. I remember reading something about scleroderma type esophageal problems in these breast fed infants. Would you recommend breast feeding? Question 3. The mom of a 4 week old who presented with a severe cow/soy formula intolerance characterized by bloody stools and vomiting says that her baby refuses the hypoallergenic formulas but will take goats milk. It is canned with added folic acid. She refuses to retry or even wean back to the hypoallergenic formulas. What do you think? Thanks for your thoughts.
