I have a Postpartum Depression mom right now who wants to know about the
safety of sleep aids while she is breastfeeding.  I know certain
benzodiazepines (ativan) are relatively safe but her doctor has told her
that this is not true.  What about herbals?  Anyone know anything about
valerian and bf or others?  She definately needs something stronger than
"sleepy time tea".  This mom needs to get some sleep *now*.  Any suggestions
would be sincerely appreciated.
