Answer by DrLact: About 1,3-Dimethyl-7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)xanthine usage in lactation

Because of the relatively high levels in milk and a previous report with theophylline, occasional stimulant effects in infants should be anticipated in breastfed infants. No severe adverse reactions are expected. Amounts in milk can be minimized by avoiding breastfeeding for 3 to 4 hours after a dose.
