Hello everyone
I'm currently living in France and I don't really find any information on breastfeeding while taking a high dosage of Lamotrigine.
I'm going to have a C-section around 35 weeks because of a high risk of rupture of the uterus + placenta accreta. I'm currently taking 600 mg/day of Lamotrigine. My dosage will only be decreased very slowly after 2/3 weeks post partum since the lack of sleep is a huge trigger for me.
Given that my baby girl will be premature, I don't want to take any chances and risking causing her more health problems.
Is breastfeeding safe in my case ? Would it be safer to bottle feed her ?
Thank you !
