I came across this site. Has anyone else seen it? 
http://www.pharmnet2000.com/Breastfeeding_Medications/Breastfeeding.html

This paragraph sent off warning bells
"Very few drugs are considered safe for breast feeding mothers. Even though it would be easier to list the safe drugs, I feel it is more important for you, the mother ,to learn more about the medicines that you may be exposed to."

Looking through the list nearly everything is in red (caution, danger) and the phrase "nursing should be discontinued is frequent.

I don't have Hale so I can't do any comparisons but I'd be interested in the opinions of knowledgeable lactnetters.
