Either isolated dose or topical medication are safe for breastfed babies. Anti-cholinergic drugs decrease Prolactin and Oxytocin hormone secretion. Long-standing Atropina treatment could affects mother's milk production. American Academy of Pediatrics: Maternal Medication Usually Compatible With Breastfeeding.
No information is available on the use of Atropina during breastfeeding. Long-term use of Atropina might reduce milk production or milk letdown, but a single systemic or ophthalmic dose is not likely to interfere with breastfeeding. During long-term use, observe for signs of decreased lactation (e.g., insatiety, poor weight gain).
Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. Anticholinergics can inhibit lactation in animals, apparently by inhibiting growth hormone and oxytocin secretion.[1][2][3][4][5] Anticholinergic drugs can also reduce serum prolactin in nonnursing women.[6] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
