Breastfeeding and medication

Summary

This website has been developed by Wendy Jones BSc, MSc, PhD, MRPharmS, a Community Pharmacist for over 40 years. 

This website is designed to provide information and support for mothers and healthcare professionals struggling to balance the benefits of breastfeeding with the perceived risk of exposing the baby to medication through his/her mother’s breastmilk.

The information provided is based upon Wendy's many years experience gained as a pharmacist and from running the BfN national Drugs in Breastmilk Help-line.
