Just one more question. There is always a lot of discussion about Drugs not
compatible with breastfeeding and the most common answer is that to go ahead
with breastfeeding and that generally only anticancer drugs aren't
compatible but most other meds are OK.

 My question is directed to you folks with more common knowledge of herbs
and Homiopathic agents. Why are there a lot more herbs that are not
recommended for use when breastfeeding. (In the books I read) I can see that
often they shouldn't be used while pregnant but are herb books written like
our common Canadian CPS.(Drug Formulary) Which states for many many drugs,
"NOt recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding because effect not
know". (Covering their butts?)
