Answer by DrLact: About Digos usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Digos 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 Digos intravenously, avoidance of breastfeeding for 2 hours after the dose will lessen the dose the infant receives.

At least 4 infants have been reported to have been breastfed in studies on Digos in breastmilk. None had any detectable Digos effect.[2][4][6]
