Answer by DrLact: About Carboxybenzylpenicillin acid usage in lactation
Limited information indicates that carbenicillin produces low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush have been reported with penicillins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. Carboxybenzylpenicillin acid is acceptable in nursing mothers.
