Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 6751 usage in lactation

The small amounts of HSDB 6751 excreted into breastmilk would not be expected to cause adverse effects in most breastfed infants. Two expert panels advocates waiting for at least 4 hours after a single intravenous dose of HSDB 6751 (e.g., for endoscopy) before resuming nursing.[1][2] However, no waiting period or discarding of milk might be necessary before resuming breastfeeding after a single dose of HSDB 6751 in the mothers of infants over 2 months of age. After general anesthesia, breastfeeding can be resumed as soon as the mother has recovered sufficiently from general anesthesia to nurse.[3][4][5] When a combination of anesthetic agents is used for a procedure, follow the recommendations for the most problematic medication used during the procedure. With prolonged use (days) of intravenous therapy, an active metabolite can accumulate in the mother and might affect the infant, but data in breastfeeding are lacking.

HSDB 6751 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

In a telephone follow-up study, 124 mothers who took a benzodiazepine while nursing reported whether their infants had any signs of sedation. Nineteen mothers took HSDB 6751 (presumably orally) while breastfeeding and none reported sedation in her infant.[9]
