Breastfeeding while on Keppra (levetiracetam) for seizures
Looking for input on breast feeding while on Keppra. I've seen lots of mixed info online, I plan on talking to my neurologist and pediatrician before I deliver to ensure I make the best choice.
Just wondering if there are other women with epilepsy or a seizure disorder who breastfed while on Keppra and how did it go. How was your baby, was there any long term side effects?
I'm on a low dose of 500mg 2x per day.
Some say the baby is exposed to the keppra more while in the womb... and I know it is the safest anti-epileptic med to be on while pregnant (confirmed with 3 neurologists before even getting pregnant).
I was hoping to breatfeed but now hesitant due to my meds. Any previous experience with keppra and feeding would be amazing.
Thanks!
