Here at iLactation we are celebrating IBCLCs around the world on IBCLC Day by providing this excellent presentation by José María Paricio Talayero, where he discusses the that fact that around 90% of women take some medication during breastfeeding and on many occasions, on the advice of their doctors or by themselves, they stop breastfeeding due to the risk that the medication may pass into milk and may affect the infant.

Compatibility of breastfeeding with taking drugs, alternative products and exposure to contaminants
