Foxhall Pediatrics encourages breastfeeding infants for the first 6-12 months. In addition to promoting mother and child bonding and providing immune support, breastmilk is an excellent and readily available source of nutrition.  Many factors impact the establishment and continuation of breast feeding and we want to support families at every step of the process.

While many medications are considered safe for use while breastfeeding, others may affect the infant, the mother’s milk supply or interact with current medications.  Always check with your prescribing physician or pediatrician when you have questions about taking a medication while breastfeeding.
