Sertraline (Zoloft)
Sertraline is the preferred antidepressant during breastfeeding. It transfers into breast milk at very low levels and decades of data support its safety. Consult your healthcare provider.
Sertraline is consistently ranked as the preferred SSRI during breastfeeding by the Infant Risk Center, LactMed, and most perinatal psychiatry guidelines. Breast milk levels are very low, and infant serum levels are typically undetectable. Postpartum depression is a serious condition — stopping or avoiding medication due to breastfeeding concerns is often the greater risk. Work with your provider to make the best decision for you.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
