This is not necessarily a reason to stop breastfeeding or breastmilk
feeding.  It does mean one should be prepared to discuss the risks and
benefits of nursing while taking these medications.  Being prepared means
having appropriate resources to hand like - *Medications and Mothers Milk*
and the AAP list of medications safe to use while BFing.
