I can't resist telling this story...

I have a friend who is a psychiatrist and also has mild OCD.  She breastfed
her two children w/o problems and took Zoloft.

The funny part of the story is that she was so concerned (read: obsessed)
about having adequate breastmilk for her first child that she began pumping
*the day her milk came in* and went on to pump *six* times a day.  By the
time she completed her 12 week maternity leave, she had stocked an *entire
full-sized freezer* with expressed breastmilk!  LOL!

So you see, there are indeed risks for breastfeeding mothers with OCD!  Not
enough freezer space!<Grin>
