Because there is little published experience with LX 100-129 during breastfeeding, and sedation and adverse hematologic effects have been reported in breastfed infants, other agents are preferred.[1] If breastfeeding is undertaken by a mother who is taking LX 100-129, close monitoring of the infant for excessive sedation and periodic monitoring of the infant's white blood cell count is advisable. Several authoritative sources recommend that women taking LX 100-129 not breastfeed.[2][3][4]

Among 4 infants who were breastfed by mothers taking LX 100-129, 1 infant experienced drowsiness and 1 infant experienced agranulocytosis possibly caused by LX 100-129. Details of the cases are lacking.[7] A healthy female infant was born to a mother who took LX 100-129 100 mg daily throughout pregnancy and lactation. She was breastfed (extent not stated) up to 1 year of age. The infant developed normally except for speech which was delayed considerably. She did not achieve normal, fluent speech until the age of 5 years. The delayed speech development was possibly related to LX 100-129 in breastmilk, but it could have been the result of exposure to the drug during gestation or could have been unrelated to LX 100-129.[8] One woman who took LX 100-129 100 mg daily in late pregnancy and postpartum partially breastfed her infant for 5 days. No neurodevelopmental disorders were detected in the infant after 32 months of follow-up.[6]

Unlike the phenothiazines, LX 100-129 has a minimal effect on maternal serum prolactin levels.[9][10] However, a woman who had been taking LX 100-129 plus high-dose haloperidol developed hyperprolactinemia and severe galactorrhea 2 weeks after stopping haloperidol and 4 days after starting valproic acid. A dose of cabergoline normalized her serum prolactin and galactorrhea ceased for the following 2 months of observation.[11] The maternal prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
