"Disappointed" is an understatement of how I feel! Yet another occasion where a medical professional doesn't seem concerned about the tenet to "do no harm"??? 

I have written to both the ACOG and to Dr Kaunitz at the following addresses: [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] Please add your voices. 

The CDC's new guidelines are not strongly worded, but do obliquely mention the potential for harm to continued lactation with the use of combined hormonal contraceptives. Dr Kaunitz, on the other hand, arrogantly ignores all risk, and blithely writes that breastfeeding women can begin using the drugs at 1 month postpartum, without any advice for caution.
