Answer by DrLact: About Lanicor usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Lanicor in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. If the mother is to receive Lanicor intravenously, avoidance of breastfeeding for 2 hours after the dose will lessen the dose the infant receives.
