This is a comment from Midlife Mommy on the previous post ( added the bold):
A wonderful book that I can't live without is "Medications and Mother's Milk" by Jack Hale, PhD. His specialty is lactation pharmacology (hope I got that right); he teaches at a medical school. It will not give you tips on breastfeeding, but it will tell you what is safe to take, what is not, and suggest alternatives.
Both you and your doctor(s) will appreciate the way it is written. It's kind of expensive ($30 or so for a paperback), but it will help you win an argument with your doctor about whether you have to wean or not. It certainly helped me win an argument with my RE, who was dead set against my going forward with a medicated cycle while nursing.
