Hi All,


Cross-posting.  Does anyone know if the copper from a copper IUD passes into
breastmilk?  A mom heard about the copper toxicity that some moms deal with
when getting a copper IUD.  This toxicity can mimic PPD.  I know this can
and does happen as one of my clients just recently dealt with it.  But...the
copper in the breastmilk aspect...any thoughts?

 

Warmly,

Jaye

 

PS - thank you so much for the help for the mom in Perth!  J
