There was little fluctuation of milk levels. The average dose that an exclusively breastfed infant would receive based on these patients is 1.4% (range 0.7 to 2.2%) of the maternal weight-adjusted dose.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM251.REF.5">5</a>-<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM251.REF.7">7</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Serum levels were undetectable (&#x0003c;0.1 mcg/L) in one 8-week-old exclusively breastfed infant whose mother was taking oral terbutaline 5 mg three times daily.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM251.REF.5">5</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#LM251.REF.7">7</a>]</p></div><div id="LM251.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>Two papers have reported a total of 4 infants aged 3 to 8 weeks who were breastfed during maternal use of oral terbutaline 2.5 or 5 mg three times daily.

During the first time period women did not receive terbutaline before a category one or two cesarean section (n = 423). In the second period, all women receiving a category one or two cesarean section received terbutaline 250 mcg subcutaneously as a tocolytic agent unless there was a contraindication at the time a decision was made to perform a cesarean section (n = 253). The breastfeeding rates at the time of discharge were 95% in the first period and 99% in the second period.
