Medications & Mothers’ Milk 2004, 11th Ed.

The breastfeeding reference that I mentioned on August 3 is now available from Skyscape.

Now in its eleventh edition, Medications and Mothers’ Milk is a worldwide best-selling reference for evaluating medication use in breastfeeding mothers. Since its original publication in 1992, Medications and Mothers’ Milk has quickly become the most comprehensive source throughout the world for professionals and for mothers seeking the best pharmacological advice on breastfeeding. The reader will find exact data on the degree of transfer of medications into human milk, the effect on mother and infant, and the relative risk to the infant. This all-inclusive reference contains the most current information available in this field including new studies and additional drug entries.

Written by renowned Clinical Pharmacologist, Dr. Thomas W. Hale, Medications and Mothers’ Milk provides the reader with easy to understand explanations of how drugs enter milk, their problems if any, and the relative safety of their use in breastfeeding mothers.
