Postpartum 12wks anxiety&ocd. ob prescribed klonopin (clonazepam) for short term use as i don't do well with ssri. is this safe with breastfeeding? recommendations

Check with doctor: Klonopin (clonazepam) gets into breast milk and can cause side effects in your baby. However, some reports say risks are very low. Best to check with pediatrician or family doctor. Decide what's best for you and your baby. Taking Klonopin (clonazepam) and bottle feeding may be a good alternative. You're calmer and your baby will benefit.
