Excerpt

Limited information indicates that maternal doses of oral diazoxide up to 175 mg daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. If oral diazoxide is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Monitoring of the infant’s blood glucose may be advisable, especially during the newborn period.
