Hello, We are a human milk bank in South Africa and feed premature infants, so the issue of medications and supplements is tricky as it is commonly agreed one needs to be extra careful when the breastmilk is going to premature infants, but finding information specifically addressing this is seldom available. If anyone can recommend where we can find more information that includes the extra risks or things to be cautious about for premature infants, I would be grateful if you would share it. We look at a variety of sources including Medications and Mothers Milk by Thomas Hale, Lactmed, e-lactancia, and information shared by other milk banks. In addition there is a helpline of pharmacists whom we can call on and they look things up on all their resources and advise and doctors and Lactation Consultants are another source of guidance.
