    We generally consider lamotrigine safe in breastfeeding mothers. This dose is quite low and we have lots of moms who've used lamotrigine during breastfeeding without problems. Watch your infant for rash, which suggest an allergy to this drug. If you see a rash in the infant contact your doctor immediately.
