Yes, there are meds for this disorder, which are compatible with  
breastfeeding.  Even Lithium (not my first choice) is approved by the AAP,  *with careful 
infant monitoring*.  Depakote and others can be used, as  well.  I would get 
her doctor a copy of Hale and/or get the doctor  information about Hale's 
website.
 
Not breastfeeding and/or sudden weaning have been implicated with a  
worsening of mood problems.  Not to mention all the risk incurred by the  baby.
