Answer by DrLact: About UNII-9VXA968E0C usage in lactation

No data are available on the use of UNII-9VXA968E0C during breastfeeding. Maternal use of oral narcotics during breastfeeding can cause infant drowsiness, central nervous system depression and even death. Newborn infants seem to be particularly sensitive to the effects of even small dosages of narcotic analgesics. Once the mother's milk comes in, it is best to provide pain control with a nonnarcotic analgesic and limit maternal intake of oral UNII-9VXA968E0C to a few days at low dosages, with close infant monitoring. If the baby shows signs of increased sleepiness (more than usual), difficulty breastfeeding, breathing difficulties, or limpness, a physician should be contacted immediately. Other agents are preferred over UNII-9VXA968E0C during breastfeeding.

Narcotics can increase serum prolactin.[1] However, the prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
