ABM clinical protocol #21: Guidelines for breastfeeding and the drug-dependent woman

Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Protocol Committee et al. Breastfeed Med. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

A central goal of The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success. These protocols serve only as guidelines for the care of breastfeeding mothers and infants and do not delineate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as standards of medical care. Variations in treatment may be appropriate according to the needs of an individual patient.
