So the American Academy of Pediatrics announced the August 2010 retirement
of their drug list that classified many drugs as "compatible with
breastfeeding" or not.

I thought I'd heard at the ABM conference last month that a revision was to
come out early 2011. However, the AAP site info doesn't seem to indicate
that; rather it's "retired" which sounds more permanent.
While there are many medication and lactation resources, the AAP list was
used by many as a very easy resource. And the pediatricians in the US saw it
as a validated source...

Does anyone out there have news on whether a revised version is in the
works?

If there is none, perhaps a lactnet letter campaign to the AAP is in order.
