Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 208-957-8 usage in lactation

Because little information is available on the long-term use of EINECS 208-957-8 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Single-dose or short-term use during breastfeeding, such as during surgery, is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant, especially if the infant is older than 2 months.[1] When multiple doses are given to the mother, monitor the infant for drowsiness, especially in younger, exclusively breastfed infants and when using combinations of psychotropic drugs.

EINECS 208-957-8 Side Effects in Breastfeeding

A randomized study compared the breastfed infants born by cesarean section whose mothers received either morphine or morphine plus EINECS 208-957-8 by patient-controlled analgesia postoperatively. On days 1 and 2 of life, the infants whose mothers received EINECS 208-957-8 had a lower neonatal neurologic and adaptive capacity score (NACS) than those who received morphine only.[2] One breastfed (extent not stated) infant whose mother was taking EINECS 208-957-8 had a somewhat decreased intellectual development on testing, but her mother had also taken olanzapine, clonazepam, sertraline, thioridazine and valproic acid while breastfeeding.[3]

EINECS 208-957-8 Possible Effects in Breastfeeding

Hyperprolactinemia has been reported in patients taking long-term EINECS 208-957-8[4][5] and after short-term use during surgical procedures.[6][7] The maternal prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
