Some are classified as compatible or safe with breastfeeding, even though the baby needs to be monitored to ensure there are no side effects such as difficulty in breathing, drowsiness, sores, itching and scratching or restlessness. Drugs in this group are those that could theoretically cause side-effects in the infant but have either not been observed to do so or have only occasionally caused mild side-effects.

In such women, a large dose of morphine could make its way into the baby and result in the baby’s death by overdose.This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their offshore merchant account .
Mr. Tunde Bakare, a community pharmacist and Managing Director of Troy Health, Idi-ape, Ibadan, Oyo State, explained that nearly all drugs pass into human milk in small amounts, usually less than one per cent of the amount in the nursing mother’s blood, adding that what gets into the breast milk depends on several factors such as the concentration of the drug in the mother’s blood, its route of administration, the amount taken and how often the medicine was used.
