I am Katherine Abdun-Nur,RN,Lactation Educator. I run the Breastfeeding
Support Service for a small rural hospital in Southern Oregon. Today I am
in search of information regarding the maternal intake of peppermint tea
as one of our staff nurses says that it is contraindicated in
breastfeeding women due to it's effect on babies.  I'm not clear on what
these effects are supposed to be. I have searched the Lawrence and
Auerbach texts, and have put in a call to an out-of-area colleague who
was unavailable today. Is there anything to this?  Thanks.
