Thanks Tiff.  I rerang the WCH (this is in Adelaide) and they still gave me the same story.   Going to talk to the head honcho about this on Monday.  I thought it may be related to dose as she is on a large one, but they think not.  Apparently, according the them Olanzapine has very little over all research done on the effects.  They also faxed me the information on it.  Going to continue to follow it up as I feel very upset.  We ( psychiatrist) and myself worked hard on this.  We thought that the unit at the Women's would provide us with the best information and I thought I'd done my utmost to get it right.   Will let you all know what they say.

Thanks Shaugn,

 

Went to the site – you are right – that IS the book!  For Lisa – it says Olanzapine and valproate are okay for breastfeeding.

 

Cheer!

Maybe the book you are thinking of is:

Medications and Mothers’ Milk 2006, 12th Edition by Thomas Hale

If you want more information about this book go to www.ibreastfeeding.com and go to the Books section.

Hope this helps

HI Lisa –

Am not at work until next Wednesday – but will try and get hold of the title of the book that was sent down to the ward when we had the lac consultant tut tutting that the bub wasn’t getting the expressed milk – bub is also getting valp levels, platelets and LFT’s done!

Hi Tiff

 

I have looked after a woman taking Olanzapine for Bi Polar recently and she hasn't been able to breast feed, this information was gained through the WCH drug information service.  She was changed from Sodium Valp to Olanzapine while pregnant due the the well known effects of the Sodium Valp on the baby.  It was as well researched as we could make it.  I worked in conjunction with the mental health service and the womens and Childrens.   she had a fantastic homebirth and was gutted about the breast feeding.  Who publishes the book on medications I would like to follow this up more closely.

Thanks Lisa Barrett
