    Elisas Mom: Its not ideal to use this drug and then breastfeed. It has a 69 hour half life so it takes some time to get rid of this. While we don't have any information as to its transfer into milk, I would guess that it is rather limited. As for harming your infant, No, with this small limited exposure I don't think there's any risk at all.

    Cabergoline + breastfeeding

    Hello,

    My GP pressured me into taking Cabergoline to stop breastfeeding. I was prescribed Cabergoline 500, 1/2 tablet twice a day for 2 days. I felt side effects, and vomited on day 2 after taking 1/2 tablet. My daughter (now 23 months old, turns 2 next week) was really unhappy that I stopped breastfeeding, and so was I. Even though I pumped on day 1 and in the morning of day 2 my breasts were full of milk and I fed her. Since then I've been feeding her twice a day for 2 days and once a day for 6 days. The doctor who prescribed it said there would be no side effects if I resumed breastfeeding. However, yesterday I visited an oncologist (the reason for Cabergoline was a lump found in my breast) and he said I am harming my daughter by taking cabergoline, and it may affect her growth. How likely is it? I haven't noticed any side effects on her so far... Are there any specific tests to check the child (and her growth) is ok?
    thank you very much!
