Abstract

Our knowledge about the transfer of drugs and environmental chemicals into breast milk has increased in the last years. This review is mainly based on recently published literature and focuses on all drugs and environmental substances with documented effects on lactation and the nursing infant. Our aim is to provide brief information for physicians who are counseling breastfeeding mothers.
