title: Update on antidepressant use during breastfeeding.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Many of my patients who are diagnosed with postpartum depression want to continue breastfeeding. How safe are the newer antidepressant medications during breastfeeding?
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The newer antidepressants transfer into breast milk in low amounts and have not been associated with serious adverse events. Therefore, the antidepressant most effective for the woman should be considered.
