Have you thought about weaning the baby? Your stress and all the
medications can't be good for the child.

Actually I was wondering too just what all the meds
would do to a baby. It is unbelievable that there isn't
major effect and the doctors would even allow it.
Thinking over all the notes and comments on this I just
have to think Anne and the kids might be better heading
home across the pond to where there is care she is more
comfortable with and her own family to help. Maybe a
church community that is better too.
I am with you Gen.

Very much depends on the size of the molecules and if the medication
would be safe for a baby if given at a weight dependent dose. SSRIs are
generally very safe for breastfeeding and there has been tons of
research on that. None of the other medications I take even go through
to the breastmilk due to different molecule sizes and other scientific
stuff.

Not possible, my parents are busy moving house, so we'd have no one to
stay with, we have our own house, but we'd have to give our tenants two
months notice and it's not furnished. My husband would have to stay in
the US to work, so I'd be without him. Plus my parents don't believe in
depression. Not really an option at all.

absolutely not an option, research backs me on this, weaning a baby
increases the rate of postpartum depression (presumably because your
body thinks the baby has died) and breastmilk with medication in it,
what little that even gets through for most meds is better than formula.
Plus, it means I have to be involved with her even at times when I don't
want to, far better than handing over care to the MIL.
Cheers
Anne

What a sad statement. Guess you'll just have to adapt some way. I can't
imagine not wanting to care for a baby. Seems every time you're given an
option, either it won't work or you don't want to do it. Sad, sad.
