<meta name="description" content="No information is available on the excretion of magnesium following magnesium aspartate during breastfeeding. However, other magnesium salts have been studied. Intravenous magnesium sulfate increases milk magnesium concentrations only slightly. Oral absorption of magnesium by the infant is poor, so maternal magnesium aspartate is not expected to affect the breastfed infant's serum magnesium. Magnesium aspartate supplementation during pregnancy might delay the onset of lactation, but it can be taken during breastfeeding and no special precautions are required.">

id="LM1306.Summary_of_Use_during_Lactation"><h3>Summary of Use during Lactation</h3><p>No information is available on the excretion of magnesium following magnesium aspartate during breastfeeding. However, other magnesium salts have been studied. Intravenous magnesium sulfate increases milk magnesium concentrations only slightly. Oral absorption of magnesium by the infant is poor, so maternal magnesium aspartate is not expected to affect the breastfed infant's serum magnesium. Magnesium aspartate supplementation during pregnancy might delay the onset of lactation, but it can be taken during breastfeeding and no special precautions are required.</p></div><div id="LM1306.Drug_Levels"><h3>Drug Levels</h3><p><i>Maternal Levels.</i> Ten women with pre-eclampsia were given 4 grams of magnesium sulfate intravenously followed by 1 gram per hour until 24 hours after delivery. While the average serum magnesium was 35.5 mg/L in treated women compared to 18.2 mg/L in 5 untreated controls, colostrum magnesium levels at the time of discontinuation of the infusion were 64 mg/L in treated women and 48 mg/L in the controls. By 48 hours after discontinuation, colostrum magnesium levels were only slightly above control values and by 72 hours they were virtually identical to controls.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM1306.REF.1" rid="LM1306.REF.1">1</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM1306.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>Fifty mothers who were in the first day postpartum received 15 mL of either mineral oil or an emulsion of mineral oil and another magnesium salt, magnesium hydroxide equivalent to 900 mg of magnesium hydroxide, although the exact number who received each product was not stated. Additional doses were given on subsequent days if needed. None of the breastfed infants were noted to have any markedly abnormal stools, but all of the infants also received supplemental feedings.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM1306.REF.2" rid="LM1306.REF.2">2</a>]</p></div><div id="LM1306.Effects_on_Lactation_and_Breastmi"><h3>Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk</h3><p>One mother who received intravenous magnesium sulfate for 3 days for pregnancy-induced hypertension had lactogenesis II delayed until day 10 postpartum.
