We have had two experts on chemicals and breastfeeding that have posted to
Lactnet before and invited inquiries about chemical exposure and breast
milk/breastfeeding. They are listed below, but the contact information is
very out-of-date. Does anybody have current contact info they could forward
to Kerri?

Subject: occupational chemicals and breastfeeding
Hi everyone,
I have a client who is returning to work when baby is four months, and feels
she needs to wean because of her work environment. She was pulled from her
regular work while pregnant because of the environmental
chemicals. Is there somewhere she can check on these chemicals in relation
to breastfeeding? I've looked in the archives, because I seem to remember
some discussion about this in the past, but not finding what I'm looking
for. The chemicals are methane chloride, NNDMF, and tetrahydrofuran.
(Not sure of my spelling, need to clarify with her).
I'd appreciate any direction. She's worked so hard to breastfeed, it would
be a shame to wean if she doesn't need to.
