Medication during Breastfeeding

Here are some great links to help you with questions about medications during breastfeeding!

US Government Drugs and Lactation Database:
http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT

Dr. Thomas Hale's clinic website for pregnant and breastfeeding women:

Medication and Mother's Milk Book (updated every 2 years):
http://www.ibreastfeeding.com/catalog/Books/c1/p237/2010-Medications-and-Mothers&%2339-Milk/product_info.html

Kelly Mom website:

I know that even though I rarely take medications- I used these resources several times during the 2 years that I breastfed my son...and I am sure that I will need them again in a few weeks when I begin breastfeeding my second child. Very helpful!!
