Piroxicam Use During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding -http://thedrugsafety.com/piroxicam/
Piroxicam is excreted into breast milk. A nursing woman, 9 months postpartum, was treated with piroxicam 20 mg/day for 4 months. Milk levels varied between 0.05 and 0.17 g/mL. Based on an ingested volume of 600 mL/day, the investigators estimated the infant would have received a daily dose of about 0.05 mg. However, no drug was detectable in the infant's serum. The concentration of the drug in milk was approximately 1% of the mother's serum levels. These amounts probably do not present a risk to the nursing infant. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers piroxicam to be compatible with breast feeding.

Is it safe to take Codeine while breastfeeding? Community Discussion: "My kids are 28 & 30 years old. We were routinely given Tylenol w/codeine after childbirth. I think I took the pills a couple of times a day for about two weeks. My kids were fine. They are smart & were fairly well-behaved when they were growing up. Both of them are bastions of society & one of them owns a multi-million dollar business that he built himself.
I think that people get too paranoid about taking meds when nursing. I didn't abuse the drugs or anything - but, didn't worry myself that I was hurting the babes while nursing either."

Lung Disease and Child Mortality
http://asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4959&Itemid=404
Pneumonia is the single largest cause of death in children worldwide. Despite being preventable and curable, it is the world's (and India’s) leading killer of children under five, claiming one young life every 20 seconds -- 4,300 young lives lost every day, which is more than those due to AIDS, malaria and measles combined.
More than 1 million young lives could be saved annually with vaccines and antibiotics, by reducing indoor air pollution in the form of cook stove gases and tobacco smoke and through exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life.
