Mommyof3boys12141,
Vyvanse is rated and L3-limited data-probably compatible. The amount that transfers into breast milk is 1.8-6.2% of your dose. We think if you keep the dose low (30-40mg or less a day) it is probably ok as long as your infant is not symptomatic, monitor for agitation, irritability, poor sleeping patterns, poor weight gain.
