What are the meds she is on?

And is she breastfeeding?

I was on meds, but because they were judged to be not harmful, and because I breastfed, i was told it would bring the baby off them slowly.

They wouldn't LET her breastfeed? Wow, talk about taking the choice away from a mom.. that irks me.

Or was it because of the medications she wasn't allowed to breastfeed?
