✨ New Journal Publication! ✨

Huge news for breastfeeding mothers with ADHD — our study on atomoxetine is published!

Our study shows that only very small amounts of atomoxetine enter breast milk. Most mothers had an RID under 0.2%, and even the highest level found was only 0.65%, suggesting very low risk while breastfeeding.

Because of this new evidence, we are updating atomoxetine’s lactation safety rating from L4 to L2, reflecting a much safer profile than previously thought.

A few reports of infant fussiness have been noted, so monitoring is still important. Any concerns should be reported to systems like FAERS to help strengthen safety data.

This research provides encouraging evidence that atomoxetine may be a safe, viable ADHD treatment for breastfeeding mothers.

Sharing another great b***y fairy video! These are the exercises we teach to help support the tongue as it’s the muscle responsible for feeding! Who’s tried this?

Low milk supply? Have you had a full thyroid panel done? Most moms don’t see OB until 5 wks pp- some have no idea that hormones shifting during pregnancy can increase insulin resistance- reach out if you are unsure about what is normal for feeding amounts and or supply as your baby ages and as you continue to triple feed and or exclusively pump with the wrong size flanges

Baby blues and hormone changes can be normal but sometimes further assessment, referral or counseling can be helpful-

New Publication Alert!

We’re excited to announce our latest article: “Balancing Mental Health and Breastfeeding: Evaluating the Transfer of Lurasidone into Human Milk” published in the The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry by Levi S. Campbell, PharmD; Palika Datta, PhD; Kaytlin Krutsch, PhD, PharmD, MBA.

🔍 Why it matters:
• First-ever quantitative data on how the antipsychotic Lurasidone transfers into breast milk.
• Relative infant dose (RID) found to be only ~1.16% at the standard 40 mg/day maternal dose — well below the 10 % safety threshold.
• No adverse effects reported in exposed infants in the study sample.

Check out our study here:
