This is an antipsychotic, and an odd drug to use for insomnia.  I have
no pharmacologic information about it.  I would point out that blood
levels, and thus milk levels are likely to be low, and the baby will
be exposed to a lot less than when he was in utero at a less sensitive
time.  If it acts as other drugs in this group, it may give her a
great milk supply.

I would not push my luck and *not* breastfeed.
