can you carry on breastfeeding if you have to take anti-depressants?

that's it really.

Thanks.

Some are better than others or more recommended should I say

this link is very good

Lots of antidepressants can be taken while bf ing. Check with the pharmacist or GP and that goes for herbal ads eg St Johns Wort as well.

thanks. I have looked on that site sherby and sent them an email.

I've taken sertraline - 50mg and increased to 100mg, from DC2 & 3 being 10 days old, and bf them to 12 & 17 mo respectively. There is no harm done to them and they are bright happy little people.

thanks gigglewitch - DS3 is nearly a year so were very established but that's worth knowing.

good luck

Just wanted to add - I've been on dothiepin the entire time I've been bfing dd (20 mths) and she is fine.
