Is it ok to breastfeed if I am on medication for long term?

Good questions! Do check with your main doctor who prescribed the medications. Some general guides: Doc should discuss with you the pros/cons of each medication eg. diabetic control, meds for thyroid conditions, psychiatric conditions etc- should be continued. Ask your doc regarding specific side effects, and whether alternatives are suitable. DO not stop any long term med on your own.
