Mom is only 10 days post partum and seems to be destabilizing. Her quetiapine dose was minimal (12.5-25 mg prn) (may need to be increased), and risperidone at 1 mg/d was her other med - so with the two drugs dosed really low breastfeeding was considered to be compatible. She is considering using formula instead because of the sleep issues, and her vulnerability at this time. For more stable women we have used formula at night and breastfeeding in the daytime.
