Scientific Research on Benzodiazepines

[eowyn12]

Hello,

Where on this website can I find the article with scientific research on the use of benzodiazepines while breastfeeding? (It had studies cited at the end of it). I saw it once and now I am having trouble finding it. Can someone please give me the link?

Thanks a lot!
