Re:  Enoxaparin

Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin ( 2000-8000 daltons) obtained
by depolymerization of porcine heparin.

Elimination half-life is 4.5-12 hours.

Peptides of this size would be unlikely to penetrate mature milk.  Further,
its oral bioavailability is minimal to nil.

Although we have no data on its transfer to human milk,  I would seriously
doubt any would transfer,  or be orally bioavailable to the infant.
