Research would be good to have of course Nikki but I’ve not seen anyone question the impact of these (mostly) quite commonly used medications that are ranked as safe by those whose expertise is pharmacology before. I think it is being questioned because people feel that it is a really abnormal situation when it actually isn’t and that makes me cross because it’s just unnecessary. Take away the fact that this person was born male and no one here would be questioning the quality of the milk made by the woman.
