Lithium and pregnancy. 3. Lithium ingestion by children breast-fed by women on lithium treatment.

Abstract

Children breast-fed by women on lithium treatment ingested lithium with the milk. Their serum lithium concentration was one-third to one-half the concentration in the nursing women's serum. Bottle-feeding should be considered for children of women on lithium treatment.
