I'm wondering if homeopathic remedies are safe during breastfeeding.  I have
heard of moms taking Rescue Remedy for tension and stress, and would like to
try this myself.  It's by Bach, and includes a 5 X dilution of:
        Helianthemum nummularium HPUS
        Clematis vitalba HPUS
        Impatiens glandulifera HPUS
        Prunus cerasifera HPUS
        Ornithogalum umbellatum HPUS

Are there any side effects that I would look for?  My daughter is 6 1/2
months, and weighs 13 1/2 pounds . She eats solids once or twice a day, but
nursing makes up most of her diet. I always refer moms to their doctor, but
I'm not sure if my pediatrician even knows what homeopathy IS  (although I
think she's a great doctor).  Are there any resources to look up herbal and
homeopathic remedies as they pertain to breastfeeding?

Thanks,
