Resources for Psychiatric Clinicians Working With Breastfeeding Mothers
Abstract:
In today's health care-focused climate, in which encouraging breastfeeding is part of national and international health care initiatives, clinicians in any field should have resources available for breastfeeding mothers. The current article provides information for psychiatric clinicians on how breastfeeding may affect women with psychiatric conditions, the type of lactation counselor likely to be best prepared to collaborate with psychiatric clinicians, and resources available regarding maternal psychiatric medications safe for breastfeeding infants. These resources can assist informed choices that support the mother's breastfeeding goals while providing the psychological care the nursing mother requires.
