Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 297-253-4 usage in lactation
No data exist on the medical use of EINECS 297-253-4 (botulinum toxin) during breastfeeding. However, one infant was safely breastfed during maternal botulism and no botulinum toxin was detectable in the mother's milk or infant. Since the doses used medically are far lower than those that cause botulism, amounts ingested by the infant, if any, are expected to be small and not cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants.[1] No special precautions are required.
EINECS 297-253-4 Side Effects in Breastfeeding
Published information on the medical use of EINECS 297-253-4 during breastfeeding was not found as of the revision date. A woman developed botulism after ingesting fermented salmon eggs while breastfeeding her 8-month-old breastfed (extent not stated) infant. The infant developed no signs or symptoms of botulism even though she continued to nurse throughout the mother's hospitalization.[2]
