A member asked:
How does it hurt baby if fluoxetine in breastmilk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Feeding problems: Babies who have breast fed when their mothers were on fluoxetine have been reported to have irritability, feeding problems, sleep problems, and poor weight gain. In addition, the baby's brain is still developing, so there may be unknown effects on brain development since this is a drug that affects brain chemicals.
