Dear Friends:
     Chambers et al wrote an electronic article "Weight Gain in Infants
breastfed by Mothers who take Fluoxetine" that was published in Pediatrics
November 1999 104(5):e61.
     From the study "Infants who were breastfed by mothers taking fluoxetine
demonstrated a growth curve significantly below that of infants who were
breastfed by mothers who did not take the drug."   The sample was 64 women
who took the drug in pregnancy; 26 breastfed and continued to take the drug.
38 breastfed and did not take the drug.
     warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CIMI, CCE, craniosacral therapy
