[quote=Anonymous]My MB went off her anti anxiety medication to become pregnant and is now nursing. She is absolutely paralyzed with fear about germs and toxins. She wouldn’t let me wash a onesie that had poop on it because it would contaminate the washing machine. Or hand wash the item because it wouldn’t get clean enough. She told me just to leave it. Another example is that I cannot burp the baby on my shoulder because the baby will be too close to my face. I can’t take the baby for a walk because the buggy isn’t clean and I cannot clean it because cleaners are toxic even if you rinse them off. Do I indulge her in this nonsense or just strongly reassure her that the baby is safe? And when she goes back on her medication, how long will it take to work? Right now she wants to nurse for five to six weeks, but her DH is pushing her to wean sooner so she can go back on her medications. [/quote]
