Answer by DrLact: About 2-Sulfo-L-iduronate 2-sulfatase usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of 2-Sulfo-L-iduronate 2-sulfatase during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 76,000, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract.
