Explanation / Answer

No, if the mother chooses to breast feed she should not betreated with the medication. Remember, even after birth, anythingthat the mother consumes (especially meds) will transfer throughher milk into her baby. If the baby drinks in this med, then it toowill experience the effects of the drug (which is bad for baby!)Infants need as much nutritional value as they possibly can so thattheir bodies become stronger! They have no business in needingblood thinners, being that their bodies are so new. I hope this helps.
