A must-have reference guide for all breastfeeding parents, lactation consultants, and healthcare providers who work with parents


Nonprescription medications and products are used by breastfeeding parents more often than prescription drugs, but not all over-the-counter (OTC) products state whether they are safe to use while breastfeeding. The truth is that everyday products commonly recommended and used can be harmful for an infant when passed through breastmilk. Whether curing a headache, taming allergies, or taking an herbal supplement, navigating the packed shelves of everyday products can be difficult.


In this reference guide, pharmacist Dr. Frank J. Nice provides simple guidelines for making safe decisions about a variety of products. Multiple easy-to-read tables contain clear answers to the question: “Is this safe to use while breastfeeding a baby?” Each table contains a clear “OK” or “UNSAFE” designation for every product or ingredient, as well as a rating following Dr. Thomas Hale's Lactation Risk Categories.


This book will replace Dr. Nice's original reference book, Nonprescription Drugs for the Breastfeeding Mother, as the gold standard reference guide for lactation consultants, pharmacists, and parents.From acne medications to zinc tablets to energy drinks, this comprehensive book covers over 1700 different products. A table of active ingredients covers nearly every other available product, and a list of products most commonly recommended by pharmacists will help families make a quick selection for their health needs. For the first time ever, Dr. Nice also includes safety information for the use of alcohol, marijuana, and CBD, as well as cosmetic, herbal, and dietary products. Other useful information can be found throughout the book, such as a guide to understanding OTC drug labels and a list of websites for further reading. The Breastfeeding Family's Guide to Nonprescription Drugs and Everyday Products is the only book a breastfeeding parent needs to keep their baby safe while looking after their own health.


In this book:

  • OTC medications for aches and pains, cold and flu symptoms, and other common ailments

  • Herbals, galactagogues, dietary supplements, and artificial sweeteners

  • Caffeinated drinks, alcoholic beverages, nicotine, marijuana, and CBD

  • Cosmetic products including medicated face cleansers, acne products, sunscreens, and mouthwashes

Editorial Reviews

Review

Nice (Nonprescription Drugs for the Breastfeeding Mother) has worked for both the NIH and FDA and has served as a consultant and lecturer for more than 45 years. He wants breastfeeding mothers to know how to make safe choices regarding over-the-counter drugs. The book also covers acne products, facial cleansers, toothpaste, moisturizers, dandruff shampoo, insect repellent, artificial sweeteners, and vitamins. Readers are told that, in most cases, active ingredients that they consume pass through their milk to the infant and sometimes inhibit the production of breastmilk. The author urges readers to check labels to understand ingredients. The items also contain charts that give lactation risk categories from safest to contraindicated and warning signs. The final pages of this work include a glossary, websites to explore the topic of breastfeeding and medication interactions, and a guide to further reading resources. VERDICT This concise and helpful guide fills a gap in literature available for parents looking for safety data. -- Julia M. Reffner

Exhaustively comprehensive and thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, "The Breastfeeding Family's Guide to Nonprescription Drugs and Everyday Products" is the only book breastfeeding parents require in order to keep their baby safe while looking after their own health. An essential guide for all breastfeeding parents, lactation consultants, and healthcare providers who work with parents, "The Breastfeeding Family's Guide to Nonprescription Drugs and Everyday Products" is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library Pharmaceutical Drug & Medical Guides collections in general, and Breastfeeding Instructional Reference studies lists in particular. -- Julie Summers

    love how medications/herbs are categorized by type (like decongestants, pain relief, etc) so you can compare different brands for lactation safety. Not sure why this book is not more commonplace with IBCLCs. I use this in conjunction with hale's book.
