[Theresa Helbach · Rating 5 out of 5]

For all my friends who are breastfeeding or pregnant, this book is the best professional reference for determining which drugs are safe to take. When I was doing my rotation in drug information during my residency, this is the book we used most for questions concerning lactation and pregnancy.
