Excerpt

Because of the low levels of labetalol in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in fullterm breastfed infants. No special precautions are required in most infants. However, other agents may be preferred while nursing a preterm infant. Labetalol may predispose nursing mothers to Raynaud’s phenomenon of the nipple.
