I am breastfeeding a 7m old baby. is it safe to take a single dose of diazepam (sedation for dental procedure)? i'm afraid i don't know the dose.

Not a good idea: In general, it would not be a good idea to take a sedatve as it can be excreted into the breast milk. If you must take it to get through your dental appointment, the. You should pump and store breast milk, then pump and dump for 2-3 days after.

No: It does get into the breastmilk and to to the baby. Try relavation techniques.
