Even what you eat can effect baby when you are breast feeding.

I know domperidone is apparently safe, as I used that when breastfeeding my first child (after disastrous breastfeeding 'support' where I was basically bullied into formula feeding when in hospital) but the rest of the drugs..a bit suspect tbh. No way has 'male breastfeeding' been studied enough to prove its safe and actually beneficial. Mens bodies just are not meant to breastfeed. Hell, I had to stop my antidepressants when BFing as apparently those could harm my child. We should not be funding male breastfeeding IMO and should be giving more support to women who want to breastfeed.
This has been done solely for the transwoman. That much is quite obvious.
