Can women breastfeed and take medications for PPMD?
The most commonly used anti-depressants are Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). We do not have a lot of information on all of these. Some information shows that some SSRIs enter breastmilk more readily than others. When choosing a medication it is best to choose one that does not enter easily into breastmilk and that has shown to have little or no effect on the infant.
