  • Valium and breastfeeding

    Hello,
    My daughter is 7 months old and I have been exclusively pumping and she only had breastmilk up until a few days ago. I injured my back and was put on Valium (5mg 2x a day). I started on Sunday and have taken 5 doses of 5mg. During that time I gave her formula and pumped and dumped. My last dose of 5mg of Valium was over 40 hours ago. Am I okay to give her breastmilk again if I am discontinuing the use of the Valium?
    Thank you

    reesesmom,

    It is safe to go ahead and resume breastfeeding at this point.
