Healthcare providers’ attitude and knowledge regarding medication use in breastfeeding women: a Jordanian national questionnaire study

Abstract

Healthcare providers should be encouraged to seek information regarding compatibility of medication use during breastfeeding from reliable sources. Professional continuing education programmes concerning the safety of medication use during breastfeeding period are needed to target all involved HCPs. More attention should be directed toward medical schools' curricula to widen the knowledge of medication use and focus on practice-based clinical experience.
