I am working with a client who may need to go on antidepressants. The doctor
suggested that she might have to stop breastfeeding. The mother is a health
care professional and states that breastfeeding is very important to her.
The baby is 9 months old. Need for the medication may not be long term.
Her depression appears tp be related to a situational crisis. Is there
anything that she could suggest to the doctor that would be relatively safe?
She has an appointment in a few days and would like info before then. TIA
