Zoloft Dry up Breast Milk?

Well, it's stronger in the hind milk than when first feeding. I've also heard of mom's taking it pumping about 8 hours after then take it then discarding that milk.

From what I've seen, which hasn't been many, it doesn't effect the amount of milk it just makes managing how you manage your body and the milk in it.

The baby does get some of the drug, but again, the hind milk has much more of the drug in it and about 8-10 hours after taking it that's when it's strongest in the milk.

My doctor put me on Zoloft while I was still pregnant, and I continued to take it until she was 6 months old - basically the entire time I breast-fed her. As far as I know, it did not have an effect on the quality or quantity of my milk. My daughter was like a little tank- the fattest little thing you can imagine! She was exclusively breastfed until she was 6 months old.

I started taking Zoloft the day I delivered my daughter and nursed her with no problems until she was 16 months old. It didn't affect my milk supply at all. If your milk is drying up, there is probably another cause. I would talk to a local lactation consultant about ways to stimulate production (more pumping, Mother's Milk Tea, etc).

Good for you for getting on the medication! It's not an easy step to take but it is very helpful.

I was told not to take my Zoloft while breastfeeding. I waited until I was done to start back.

Zoloft has been known to decrease milk production, particularly in higher doses.

Nurse your child as often as possible, keep hydrated, rest and eat well.
