Sadly, women often feel they have no alternative but to give up
breastfeeding, having been prescribed or purchased medication. In
many cases, however, this is unnecessary. This book outlines the
evidence base for the use of medication during breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding and Medication presents a comprehensive A to Z guide
to the most frequently prescribed drugs and their safety for
breastfeeding mothers. Evaluating the evidence for interventions
and using a simple format for quickly identifying medications that
are safe or unsafe to use, it also highlights those drugs where
there is inconclusive evidence. Additional contextual information
makes this the most complete text for those practitioners who
support and treat breastfeeding women. It: provides an overview of
the anatomy and physiology of the breast together with hormonal
influences to better understand how complications, such as
mastitis, arise and inform the approach to their treatment;
includes a section on conditions that affect women specifically
when they are lactating where prescription of medication may be
necessary; discusses the importance of breastfeeding and its
advantages, as well as its disadvantages; and explores how to
support breastfeeding mothers, and presents a counselling model
approach. This new edition contains information on more drugs and a
chapter on the management of some chronic conditions which may
affect breastfeeding mothers. In most cases there are options to
support the mother's optimal care whilst allowing her to continue
to breastfeed her baby as long as she wishes. This is a topic which
raises many questions on social media, which informed the choice of
conditions to consider. This is an invaluable reference for all
health practitioners and volunteers who work with, support and
treat breastfeeding women, including lactation consultants,
breastfeeding support workers, health visitors, GPs, practice
nurses, pharmacists and midwives.
