    • Pregnancy and Postpartum Healthcare is Underfunded, Under-researched, and Undervalued.

      For women with pre-existing conditions, or those that develop health conditions while pregnant or lactating, there often isn’t enough research for reliable, evidence-based treatment.

    • Implants and Breastfeeding: What You Should Know

      One topic of concern to some mothers with breast implants is whether they present any health risk to their baby through possible contamination of their breast milk. In particular, they ask about whether silicon, silicone gel or platinum used in implants can leak into their breast milk.

      The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Drugs does not feel that the evidence currently justifies classifying silicone implants as a contraindication to breastfeeding.

    • Mothers With Thyroid Issues Should be Cautious in Using Fenugreek

      Fenugreek is listed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA and as long as mothers are aware of the possible side effects, this is a good option to try to increase supply. However, mothers with thyroid conditions should proceed cautiously and consult with their physician before taking a fenugreek supplement.

    • Lack of Research Affects Treatment Options for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Moms

      Not only must women watch what they eat and drink during pregnancy and breastfeeding, they must also be mindful of the drugs they take to treat common and not-so-common illnesses. This is made even more challenging by the fact that very little research is available on the use of drugs during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
