Barbara,

Here is the basic information update you are inquiring about:

One case report of a 32 year old mother taking 5 to 10 mg/day between  
1 and 7.5 weeks postpartum. "There were no adverse events reported in  
the infant."

" ... 8 breastfeeding women taking an average of 10 mg/day ... The  
drug and its metabolite were undetectable in most of the infants  
tested. No adverse events in the infants were reported."

There are 2 references dated 2006 replacing the manufacturer's  
information sheet.

From: Hale's Medications and Mothers' Milk, 2008, pages 344-345.
