Great updated reference book. Has new Relative Infant Dose (RID). The preface - 20 pgs - explains extremely well how to use the book. Biggest limitation / problem is the weight of the book - too heavy. The size of the book has changed to accommodate all the data. I wish this book could be bought as an ebook.
Mr Hale sets guidelines with his research and publications- this book makes it easy for the student/prescriber to determine what meds can safely be prescribed for the breastfeeding mother. Lists breastfeeding ratings, not pregnancy category ratings.
All nursing moms need this book. I take it to all doctors appointments. It's great to educate myself , other moms and doctors.
Perfect condition, perfect price, I should have bought this before my nursing OB because it explains what you need to know perfectly! Don't waste your time with other drug guides because one gets straight to the point and doesn't have you wondering what you need to know and what you don't. I went to clinical the other day and I saw one on the table at the hospital. And I'm not sure how the 2012 edition compares to the 2014 edition but price wise it's alot cheaper and if you use a book or article within the last 5 years this book is at least good until 2017. Also the condition of this book is unreal!! I thought it was brand new and under $10 God bless cause we know that nursing students are broke lol.
I'm a phone nurse in an very busy OB practice. I use this book daily to answer patients questions. Our practice has physicians & midwives. Our midwifery patients have some crazy questions about different "natural" meds & this book has many of them. Easy to read & understand--not as technical as a PDR.I would recommend this for an office. It's not necessary for a new mom.
Well laid out book that gives detailed information on the effects of chemicals on a woman's milk production. If you are curious what might or might not be harmful to your child while you're breastfeeding it's a terrific book. It's VASTLY better than online responses of "my child wasn't bothered by my large consumption of X"
This Book continues to provide the most accurate and updated information with regard to the safety of maternal medications for the infant. It provides me with information to help breastfeeding mothers continue nursing when prescribed medication is needed. Too often providers advise mothers to discontinue breastfeeding when a mother is taking a medication that is considered safe. Other times a safe alternative can be prescribed.I have shared this book with other providers and nursing staff in my pediatric practice so we can provide consistent and supportive care.
This book has been in my library for years! I have updated it as new versions come out. As a physician that has done deliveries and worked with many women who breast feed I find this book very valuable.Dr. Leah McNeill
