Free Medications Database

(This isn't even an ad!)

Need to know more about drugs and breastfeeding?  LactMed can help. Find
information about maternal and infant drug levels, possible effects on
lactation and on breastfed infants, and alternative drugs to consider.
Free LactMed app for iPhone/iPod Touch and Android Devices:
http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/help/lactmedapp.htm

This is a great alternative to the fabulous (but thick and heavy) Hale's guide "Medications and Mother's Milk".  When you need to advocate for yourself at a doctor's office, you can have this information literally in your pocket for discussing medications with your physician.

Extreme Breastfeeding!

We went hiking near Yosemite in June, and I tried out the new Cybex infant carrier.  It turns out it's possible to breastfeed your infant in the mother-facing position -- and you can keep hiking too!
