Jay,
I don't know if your questions about this herbal antidepressant have been
answered, but I want to share a website with you.

It's very informative and clearly written.

From the responses I've seen, it doesn't look like anyone can say "for sure"
if there is any effect on milk supply or reactions in infant.  If that is the
case, how does the mother feel about giving this a "trial"?  If she takes the
herb in moderation and watches for a change in milk supply, or change in
baby's temperament, she can give us some very useful feedback.

What is the alternative?  Continue in a state of depression without
treatment; take a known medication while breastfeeding; stop breastfeeding
with the known associated risks.

Please let us know what she decides.
