| | º | Safety of Commonly Used Drugs in Nursing Mothers
Although many medications are safe to use while breastfeeding, most drugs will get into breast milk to some degree and may even affect milk supply. To be safe, check with your child's doctor before taking any kind of medication, even over-the-counter drugs. The information in our chart was compiled by Philip Anderson, a pharmacist and the editor of LactMed, the U.S. National Library of Medicine's drugs and lactation database. The chart has been newly updated and is current as of March 2010.

I think my baby may be teething. She has been cranky, drooling a lot more, and constantly putting her hands in her mouth. I have been just trying to nurse her when she gets fussy. Is there anything else I can do? I need ideas! Share your thoughts with us! Feel free to post on our message boards or comment here.

| | º | Breastfeeding While Pregnant & Tandem Nursing
My daughter is 15 months old, and I just found out that I am pregnant. She is still breastfed, and I don't think she will give it up for a while. Is this safe for my unborn baby? Will my milk change back in time for the new baby to breastfeed? Share your advice with us! Feel free to post on our message boards (you don't have to be a member!) or comment here.
