Excerpt

Oxazepam has low levels in breastmilk, a short half-life relative to many other benzodiazepines, and is administration directly to infants. Oxazepam would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants with usual maternal dosages. A safety scoring system finds oxazepam possible to use during breastfeeding.[1] Monitor the infant for sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain.
