5.0 out of 5 stars
invaluable resource,
By dontbossme (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medications and Mothers' Milk: A Manual of Lactational Pharmacology (Paperback)
I can't believe that i was lucky enough to be referred to this book when I was pregnant with my second child. Now I'm pregnant with my fourth and i'm ordering the new, updated 2004 version. My 2002 is barely holding together after countless girlfriends borrowed it to use through their pregnancies and breastfeeding.
I'm ordering it now because I need to know about a new allergy medicine on the market and this book is the only resource that has the information that is so critical to know when you have a little one involved. I can't believe every doctor doesn't have a copy of this. I bring it to my general physician's, pediatrician's and OBs offices when i have appointments so that they can reference the tables and know how much of the medications the fetus or newborn is getting. I suffer from depression and allergies and i feel so much more confident with the drugs i take. I can't imagine not being this informed. I highly recommend (encourage is an understatement) that anyone pregnant, invest in this book now.

Absolute must have for the nursing mom!,

This review is from: Medications and Mothers' Milk: A Manual of Lactational Pharmacology (Paperback)
This book is a "must have" for anyone who worries about which medications are safe while breast feeding. It includes information on how long the medication affects your milk supply, how much of the medication could potentially be passed on to the infant, and what side effects could occur both for mother and infant. It covers a very broad range of drugs- from over the counter cold remedies to "street drugs", and everything in between. I have no medical background, but I found the book to be very clear and easy to understand.
If you are a nursing mom, this book will quickly become one of your favorites!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect,
By Josephine Wolff Metternich (Frankfurt, - Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medications and Mothers' Milk: A Manual of Lactational Pharmacology (Paperback)
This is book is simply essential if you are breast feeding. Most doctors will simply say about almost any medicines that you cannot take them until you stop breastfeeding. And this book has the authorititave answer as to whether you really can or not.
Should also be useful also during pregnancy.
