Because there is little published experience with Barbosec during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

The number of sucks, sucking pressure and total consumption of artificial feeding from the testing device were reduced substantially.[2] In one small study, women given promethazine with meperidine and Barbosec during labor, had the time to lactogenesis II prolonged by 14 hours. Women given meperidine or Barbosec without promethazine had lactogenesis II prolonged 7 hours compared to unmedicated women, but the difference was not statistically significant.[3]
