Drugs and Breast Milk

JACK NEWMAN MD, FRCPC1

1 Breastfeeding Clinic, The Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

To the Editor.—

The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Drugs has performed an invaluable service in publishing and updating the "Transfer of Drugs and Other Chemicals into Human Milk."1 This service is one for which we who try to advise breast-feeding women can only be grateful. Although there are some medications about which not everyone would agree, I was shocked to find that nicotine (smoking) was included in Table 2 (Drugs of Abuse That Are Contraindicated During Breast-feeding).
