Hi,
I need some advice, I am currently breastfeeding my 12 week old. I have started taking my alprazolam again 0.25 dose at night ( I have tried other safe meds like ativan and it does not work) for my extreme insomnia and anxiety at night. I take my dose around 10 pm after I feed my baby. I have been supplementing with formula during the night and I resume feeding around 10 am in the morning. Is my baby at any risk? I do a pump and dump before I start feeding again. I am just so unsure and want to be as safe as possible. I have thought about switching to formula exclusively but its very hard to wean because I really don't have any other.
please let me know if I should stop breastfeeding. I know it stays in your milk for up to 14 hours but I figured since my dose is so low it should be okay.
thank you in advance and sorry if this does not make sense.
