Excerpt

No information is available on the clinical use of botulism antitoxin during breastfeeding. Because it is a mixture of large protein molecules, the amounts in milk are likely to be very low.[1] They are also likely to be partially destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract and absorption by the infant is probably minimal.[2] Breastfeeding can continue while receiving botulinum antitoxin. Monitor breastfed infants for signs of adverse impacts from botulinum antitoxin including flu-like symptoms, such as fevers, chills, and malaise.
