Lorazepam has low levels in breastmilk, a short half-life relative to many other benzodiazepines, and is safely administered directly to infants. Evidence from nursing mothers indicates that lorazepam does not cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants with usual maternal dosages. A safety scoring system finds lorazepam possible to use during breastfeeding.[1] Monitor the infant for sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain.
