Perhaps you've already looked into alternatives with no success, but there's a book called Medications and Mother's Milk that shows to alternatives to most drugs that are safe for lactation. Sometimes even physicians aren't aware that they are available. Your local La Leche League should have a copy. Or just call LLL International.
Also, if there's no alternative and you feel it's in both your and your little one's best interest to wean then LLL can help with gradual, gentle weaning techniques.
