Answer by DrLact: About Mometasone, Nasal usage in lactation

Neither inhaled mometasone nor mometasone nasal implants have been studied during breastfeeding. Although not measured, the amounts of nasal corticosteroids absorbed into the maternal bloodstream and excreted into breastmilk are probably too small to affect a breastfed infant. Reviewers and an expert panel consider inhaled corticosteroids acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[1][2][3]
