Hi Kathleen: While that may be true, there are most definitely antecdotal
reports from moms that I have found disturbing. I take no comfort in the
defensive position ("well so far it looks OK"), but prefer to go on the
offense (Protecting the client until we can reasonably declare safety). I
appreciate Dr. Hale's conservatism here. There are other drugs that we can
comfortably use during Mom's breastfeeding career--not to mention good
psychotherapy and other support. I, for one, do not want to have to feel
badly about advice I gave in an information vacuum if it is detrimental to
any baby.
I'm one of the 10 Californians who is *not* on Prozak, though I've sent
counseling clients to their physicians for same and seen it work wonders.
Maybe I should get out of my denial and go for it! :>) Nancy
