No information is available on the use of 1-Deoxygalactonojirimycin during breastfeeding. If 1-Deoxygalactonojirimycin is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because no information is available on the use of 1-Deoxygalactonojirimycin during breastfeeding caution should be used, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
