Zoloft and breastfeeding: looking beyond milk transfer
Abstracts
Abstracts
Milk transfer is only one part of a breastfeeding medication discussion. “Breastfeeding While Taking Zoloft” addresses the medication in the context of postpartum depression: it reports that Zoloft passes into breast milk in minimal amounts and has not been found to harm infants.
The article also advises parents to watch for possible side effects in themselves and their babies and consult a healthcare provider. Keeping both parent and infant in view helps make the discussion more useful than focusing on milk transfer alone.
