Golly, willing to sacrifice breastfeeding for the flu.  Like do we really
need drugs for the flu?  Get serious.  As a serious wimp, I have never taken
any medication for the flu except aspirin. But of course, the pharmaceutical
companies tell us we need more stuff.  That way, with the baby off the
breast, he will also get the flu and we can prescribe some drugs for him.

Flumadine is not contraindicated during breastfeeding.  The importance of
breastfeeding to the mother and baby is too important to sacrifice.
