I copied this from the Sticky "FAQ about Metformin"

"8. What about taking Met while breastfeeding?

Once again this decision needs to be made at the discretion of each woman. The studies I have seen to date indicate that about 0.28-.4 % of the drug passes to the infant, leaving it well within the acceptable limits. You can read articles/studies on this here:

Metformin Use by Nursing Mothers Does Not Affect Infants: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/537186

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q..._uids=12436333

http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/...0804_fm-6.html"

I just started Metformin and I am TTC. So one day, I will have to cross this bridge as well.

Best Wishes!
