28. Avoid unnecessary drug use and limit use of OTC products
Assess the benefit/risk ratio for both mother and infant
Avoid use of drugs known to cause serious toxicity in adults or children
Choose drugs for the mother that have known and established
information about their pharmacokinetics and toxicity and have low
concentrations in breast milk and low relative infant dose
Avoid new drugs if possible
Drugs licensed for use in infants do not generally pose a hazard
Neonates (esp. premature infants) are at greater risk from exposure to
drugs via breast milk
약물 선택 시 일반적인 고려사항
29. Route of administration (minimum amount of drug to the infant)
Choose medications : shortest T1/2 , highest protein binding ability,
poorest oral absorption, lowest lipid solubility, well-studied in
infants.
Avoid feeding the infant at the time of peak concentration of the
drug in milk.
To minimize drug level in the milk administer the drug at /
immediately after the infant feeds.
Avoid long-acting drug
In case of no available alternative, medication is best taken just
prior to the longest sleep of the infant.
약물 선택 시 일반적인 고려사항
30. Monitor Infants exposed to drugs via breast milk for unusual
signs/symptoms
feeding, sedation, irritability, rash, etc
For some medications with potential harm, temporary
suspension of breastfeeding may be necessary.
Withhold breastfeeding temporarily if the drug is only used for a
short duration
Advice the mother about milk expression & cup feeding instead of
bottle feeding to avoid nipple confusion

Drugs transfer into human milk if they:
Attain high conc in maternal plasma
Are small enough
Are non-protein bound
Are highly lipid soluble
Then once in breast milk:
Are affected by oral bioavailability in baby’s gut
45. DRUG CLASSIFICATION BY AAP
Cytotoxic drugs
Drugs of abuse for which adverse effects on the infant
Radioactive compounds that require temporary cessation of
breastfeeding
Drugs for which the effect on nursing infants in unknown but
may be concern
Drugs that have been associated with significant effects on
some nursing infants and should be given to nursing
mothers with caution
Maternal medication usually compatible with breastfeeding
46. Maternal factor
Dose and duration of therapy
Route of administration
Drug pharmacokinetics
Infant factor
Infant’s ability to absorb, metabolize, and excrete the drug
Gestational age of infant and its postnatal age
DRUG TRANSFER INTO THE BREAST MILK
47. Infant age
Premature and newborn infants are at somewhat greater risk
Infant stability
Unstable infants with poor GI stability may increase the risk
of using medications
Pediatric approved drugs
Generally are less hazardous if long-term history of safety is
recognized
Dose
In a premature infant various doses may be more risky than
in a 1 year old healthy infant
Drugs that alter milk production
May be much more risky during neonatal period than much
later
