Probably a dumb question, but are there extra considerations to be taken if a premature baby is to get milk from a medicated mother, eg drugs in Hale’s categories L1 or L2?  Ie is the preterm baby to be considered like a fetus?

What do people think of the www.safefetus.com website as a quick check for drug use in lactation?

And one last question – is there any information on what happens to supposedly ‘safe’ drugs when heated, as in pasteurisation?

Best wishes
