Uncontrolled diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) is associated with increased risk of congenital abnormalities and perinatal mortality.
Metformin is excreted into human breast milk. No adverse effects were observed in breastfed newborns/infants. However, as only limited data are available, breastfeeding is not recommended during metformin treatment. A decision on whether to discontinue breastfeeding should be made, taking into account the benefit of breastfeeding and the potential risk to adverse effects on the child.
