Not sure if this is where i post a question but Im just trying to find out of my dear cousins toddler is ok. First of all she has been taking about 20 mgs of subutext a day but breastfeeds her daughter who is almost 2.5. She also injects it at times but not everytime i know if she thought she was harming her daughter she wouldnt do this the doctors have said shes fine i just wondered how much really gets in her daughters system and if it is ingested through the breastmilk does that mean its in my little cousins blood? Or what is passed through the milk then would have to go under baby cousins tounge and be absorbed verses just her swallowing it if that makes sense? Concerned family member here wondering what happens once she stops breastfeeding and if there are long term affects from her breastfeeding so long while on this medication and now recently started injecting some
