I have a question for Dr. Tom Hale - if this has already come up, a thousand pardons. There was an article on heroin-addicted mothers in Israel which began "When Sima's baby was born, he cried for days. She couldn't nurse him. Her milk contained heroin." I remembered something that Mary Broadfoot from Scotland posted a long time ago about morphine/heroin, but couldn't remember just what it was about, so went to Dr. Tom's Red Book "Medications and Mother's Milk", looked up both heroin and morphine and promptly got confused. Is there a discrepancy here or am I not reading it right? Heroin, when injected, rapidly metabolizes to morphine. Heroin is AAP contraindicated in breastfeeding mothers, but morphine is AAP compatible with breastfeeding. Do I need an eye exam? Not that anyone will ever ask me about it, but I am curious....Thank you, Dr. Hale! P.S. I talked my FP, who is my only support, into ordering your book for our local medical library!
