Hi there. If Hale's book says Asacol is moderately safe, then I would recommend that this be weighed against the known risks of formula feeding. I think what might be missing from this equation is the risks of not breastfeeding, which are substantial and often ignored. I have not read the piece on Asacol in Hale, but that is my initial thought. There are very few situations that warrant stopping breastfeeding for medication use,...and it is a benefit/risk evaluation.
