Breastfed vs formula fed

Sat, 07/01/2017 - 20:47
Which route did you choose to go when you had babies? I realize with formula the baby won't be getting any of your medication but on the other hand they say breastfed is best and I've heard that only a small amount of meds is found in breast milk. I would love to hear your experiences/ opinions. FYI I'm on lamotrigine(generic lamictal)
