ADHD Medication and Breastfeeding

Updating just in case anybody comes across this in the future: all doctors and pediatricians involved have agreed it is safe and my son is not affected.

I’m going to preface this by saying I have talked to our pediatrician, my psychiatrist and a lactation consultant about this.

So I was given the okay by the lactation consultant and the pediatrician to start up my adderall again, but my psychiatrist keeps warning me against it.

So do any breastfeeding mamas with ADHD take their medications while breastfeeding? I didn’t while pregnant, but now I am on the fence about starting them up again.

I’m on my other mental health meds again, but if you have started taking your ADHD meds, let me know if it’s working for you and baby.

EDIT: thank you everyone for your responses! I appreciate both those who did and did not take the medication. There’s only so much research I can do on my own, so I’m going to get another professional opinion on if it’s okay!
