Dear Lactnetters,
I had a mom call me asking whether Huang-qi (astragalus) and
Ginko-biloba were safe to take while breastfeeding. Her baby is 6
months old. I appreciate any information on these herbs. I have Dr.
Hale's book and others to look up drugs, but no references for the
safety of herbs in lactation. Does anyone have any good suggestions for
a book that addresses the safety of specific herbs while breastfeeding?
Thank you very much.
