• Insufficient milk transfer
• Jaundice

• Overproduction
• Nipple pain
• Nipple bacterial infection

New to this version is a link to additional information about medications, including country-specific drug information for the following countries:

If you do not see your country listed and would like to provide information about medications used in your region, please send an email to store@ilca.org for it to be considered for inclusion.  Include dosage for each medication and research supporting the use of the drug for that purpose and how it transfers into human milk.

• Postpartum mother-baby units
