Pam,
A question.  Who is denying the mother the option of bfing their baby
when taking SSRIs, the physician?

Darlene Breed, BSN, RN, IBCLC

>Another problem that seems to have much less concern...what about
women that are using "legal" drugs???  We do not routinely screen for
these (at
least not at my hospital).  I have worked with moms that were taking
Prozac or one of the SRI's throughout the entire pregnancy, and then were
denied the option of bf'ing the baby.  I have seen several babies really
suffer by the drug supply being cut off like that.
