Answer by Dr. Ru: About U 33030 usage in lactation

Eventual and low doses of benzodiazepine are compatible with breastfeeding. Use a short-acting benzodiazepine and minimal effective dose as possible mostly in neonatal period. Follow-up for sedation and feeding ability of the infant. Bed-sharing is not recommended for mothers who are taking this medication.

Answer by DrLact: About U 33030 usage in lactation

Because little information is available on the use of U 33030 during breastfeeding, an alternate hypnotic may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. U 33030 has a relatively short half-life, so occasional use while breastfeeding an older infant should pose little risk to the infant, but monitor the infant for excessive drowsiness.

In a telephone follow-up study, 124 mothers who took a benzodiazepine while nursing reported whether their infants had any signs of sedation. One mother took U 33030 while breastfeeding and reported no sedation in her infant.[1]
