i guess i should clarify…i didn’t say that i was opposed to breastfeeding, because i would probably say that i am a “huge advocate”, but i think it is a medical professionals responsibility to take care of his/ her patient, not promote personal views like bf in place of meds. i have a good friend who has two sons and is bipolar. during her first pg she stopped her lithium, continued prozac and started lithium again as soon as max was born and did not bf. she stopped her lithium again during the second pg, but did not start it and bf after sam was born, on her prozac…happy mom, happy baby…but she also had far lower lows than she has had before. her drs were committed to find meds for her that worked for her situation. for the original poster, i am thinking of you. i hope you feel better soon…
