I know nothing about this drug.  However, the *conservative* approach is to
keep breastfeeding.  The company *always* says the mother should stop
breastfeeding.  That is not a useful tack--to ask the company.  They are not
worried about the mother's or baby's breastfeeding.  They are worried about
their liability.  The fact that the drug is experimental in no way makes the
*principles* of drugs and their excretion in milk any different.  Chances
are very little will get into the milk.  What you can ask the company,
though, is why this drug is given by injection? Is it possible that it is
not absorbed from the gut, in which case, it will probably be safe during
lactation?
