"Depression wont harm your baby."
And this assertion, which contradicts all available evidence, is based on......?
As to the breastfeeding, med safety varies. If you're on a low dose of Zoloft, for example, Zoloft won't even be found in your exclusively breastfed baby's blood; on a high dose of Zoloft, trace amounts may be found, but they don't accumulate in a full-term baby's blood. Other meds have varying safety records and amount of evidence supporting same.
Laurie (breastfed #1 while on Zoloft, from 3 months to 3.5 years - now a happy, extremely intelligent 6-year-old; took Zoloft throughout pregnancy, and Wellbutrin during first trimester, with #2, and have so far breastfed her for 12 months while taking first Zoloft, then Wellbutrin; happy, healthy baby reaching all developmental milestones at the appropriate times)
