Clearly, we’ve hit a nerve with AI-assisted content. Here’s the deal: we are a small team, and our bottleneck is our time. There are very few people in the world that do what we do. We don’t want to gatekeep our insight. We try to make the biggest impact we can with the (small) budget we have. That said, if we live to serve, and don’t listen to who we’re serving…we’d be missing the point. We value your trust. So: what do you want? More material that’s 100% us but AI-assisted, or 100% human material (but less of it)?

We know you’re worried about AI, so are we!

We wanted to be really transparent about how we’re actually using it here at InfantRisk.

During our team meetings, we’ve started using AI to record and transcribe our conversations. We’re a team of researchers, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, and lactation experts and we have A LOT to say.

Instead of letting all of those ideas stay in a meeting, we take our meeting transcripts and use AI to help turn those conversations into content, organize our thoughts, and help us get more information out to you.

But here’s the important part: AI isn’t deciding what we believe. AI isn’t doing our research. And AI isn’t replacing our experts.

We’re guiding it.

The ideas come from us. The research comes from us. The clinical knowledge comes from us. And the final say comes from us.

We spend time reviewing, editing, fact-checking, and re-checking what AI helps us create before we share it with you.

So yes we use AI.

But we use it as a tool to help our team be more efficient, so we can do more research, learn more, and share more of what we’re already working on.

We’re excited about the possibilities of AI, but we’re also cautious about it. And we think both things can be true.

When it comes to information about medications and breastfeeding, we will always put accuracy first.

Half and half is a starting place, not a landing place.

Our newest article explains what “half and half” really means when helping families safely continue breastfeeding while taking medication.

We cover why we may start conservatively, when it may be appropriate to increase breastfeeding, what to monitor, and why every mom and baby deserves an individualized plan.

Start. Watch. Reassess. Advance.

In obstetrics, “maternal-fetal conflict” is a perceived tradeoff between protecting a pregnant woman’s interests and protecting fetal well-being. These conflicts don’t end at birth. We don’t have a special term for it postpartum, but the same happens between a mother’s interests and those of her child…especially when she is breastfeeding. It happens every day, and the consequences can be equally (if not more) devastating. 💔

The information gap is real.

People who are breastfeeding have historically been underrepresented in medication research. That means many families and healthcare professionals are left without the information they need to make confident decisions about medication use during lactation.

That's why InfantRisk exists.

At the InfantRisk Center, we do not just interpret the research. We help create it. Our team conducts research on medications during breastfeeding, analyzes human milk samples, and generates new evidence to better understand which medications are compatible with lactation. We then translate that science into practical, evidence based guidance so parents and healthcare professionals can make informed decisions with confidence.

Every study brings us one step closer to stronger evidence, safer medication choices, and healthier outcomes for moms and babies.

🌎🤱 Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

Breastfeeding is more than nutrition. It is an investment in healthier families, stronger communities, and a healthier world. Supporting breastfeeding helps improve infant and maternal health, reduces healthcare costs, and gives babies the healthiest possible start in life.

At the InfantRisk Center, we're proud to support that mission every day. Every phone call we answer, every medication we evaluate, every resource we create, and every healthcare professional we educate helps parents make informed, evidence based decisions. When families have access to accurate information, they are empowered to continue breastfeeding safely and confidently when it is right for them.

This week, we're celebrating the healthcare professionals who make that possible!

🎉 GIVEAWAY! 🎉

To celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, we're giving away a 3 month subscription to the InfantRisk HCP App, your trusted resource for evidence based medication safety information during pregnancy and lactation.

Just download the app from your app store and you should be good to go. Let us know if you have any issues, and we'll be happy to help.

Together, we can ensure that every family has access to the knowledge and support they need to make informed decisions about breastfeeding.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! 💙

07/27/2026

📆 THIS FRIDAY!! 📆 In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, Dr. Krutsch and other research rockstars will answer questions on Reddit (r/AskScience) about babies, b***s, and breastmilk! We hope to share some cool science, inspire students to pursue this fascinating field, and make science more accessible to the people it impacts the most.

This year’s group hails from biochemistry, biological anthropology, clinical nursing research, epidemiology, immunology, lactation medicine, lactation pharmacology, microbiology, and molecular bio.

WHEN: Friday, 11AM-4PM CT / 12PM - 5PM ET
WHERE: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/
