Bonnie, I dont' know what Hale says, not being able to
reach my copy (benno is latched on), but someone needs
to point out the OB that clinical trials aren't done
(at least in the US) on pregnant and lactating women.
In fact, you *can't* be in a drug trial if you are
pregnant or lactating, so I don't know how he expect
to find those studies.

Can't any lab who can test blood levels of a drug test
the milk levels as well?  This has come up previously
wrt lithium in nursing mothers.
