These are comments I sent to Pat Young regarding the article:
So many variables in this case study to extrapolate to the LACTNET case.
Of course, we evaluate every case as an individual case.
That is why the recommendation for any case to continue to breastfeed always includes monitoring for any possible side effects.
As you know, a complete benefit risk analysis is:
Benefits of breastfeeding plus benefits of drug vs. risks of drug plus risks of artificial formula
The analysis never includes just the risks of the drug.
