Help to support the Drugs in Breastmilk Information Service for The Breastfeeding Network because it provides vital and unique support on the use of medication while breastfeeding
Story
A lifeline when no one else gives you an answer
The Drugs in Breastmilk information service was set up more than 20 years ago by the Breastfeeding Network and has been funded by the charity ever since. It was established in response to reports of many breastfeeding women receiving inconsistent or inaccurate advice from some health professionals when they were prescribed a medication or procedure. This service enables them to access the latest evidence-based information on risk, from an experienced pharmacist.
