I got a question from a reader with PPD today about specific medications and breastfeeding. Wouldn’t you know it, over at Perinatal Pro, Susan Stone just wrote a piece about OTIS, the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists. Here’s the really cool part:
Expectant or lactating mothers, healthcare providers and those who love them can call a toll free number – 866-626-6847 to ask questions about medication exposure during pregnancy and lactation!
Go read Susan’s story to learn more about OTIS and how it works.
You can also visit the MGH Center for Women’s Mental Health and their section on breastfeeding and psychiatric medication.
And you can visit Motherrisk’sresource on breastfeeding and medication, and their page on medication during pregnancy. These sections include information on all drugs, not just psychiatric ones.
Also, click here for more stories on breastfeeding and PPD.
