| Permit breastfeeding in methadone-maintained patients. A number of substance-using women express a desire to breastfeed their infants. Breastfeeding is not contraindicated in a methadone-maintained patient if she is known to be free of other drug use and is known to be HIV-seronegative. If the mother is abusing multiple drugs that would expose the infant to diverse agents in varying levels, then breastfeeding may still be contraindicated. Breastfeeding is not recommended if the mother is HIV-infected. |
