    By "fits," I am assuming you mean seizures. Correct? If that is the case then the gardenal is not recommended for breastfeeding women. The risks to the baby far outweigh the benefits. Frisum also should not be used during breastfeeding.

    Both of these medications are in a class called barbiturates. Barbiturates are passed on into the mother's milk and may cause slowed heartbeat, drowsiness, shortness of breath, and trouble breathing.

    If you must take either or both of these medications it is highly advised that you bottle feed your baby with either formula or donated breast milk.
