It doesn't sound to me like the psychiatrist wants her to stop because of the
medication she is taking, as she has been taking it through pregnancy and 6
months of lactation. To me, with the info you posted, it sounds like the
psych. thinks she should quit because there is no longer any benefit to
breastfeeding.
Just because this psychiatrist is an educated person does not mean that they
have accurate (or even healthy) views regarding breastfeeding. We have all
heard about doctors telling mothers that it is "weird", ..."perverted,"... (you
fill in the blank) to nurse past 3 months or 6 months or what ever number they
pull out of their ---.
Unfortunatly, some people seeing a psychiatrist might not be in a position of
strength to stand up to an authority figure.
