Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand your concern.
There is no data suggesting excretion of mefipristone into breast milk.
But since effects on infants is not clearly known I suggest you to withold breastfeeding for couple of days to be on safe side.
Till that time give formula milk with spoon and in case bottle is to be given sterilisation is to be taken care of.
Hope I have answered your query,in case you have any further question I would be glad to help.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless..

Detailed Answer:
Thanks again.
Relax,there is nothing to worry as there are no documented side effects. As I already mentioned we are cautious in infants who are exclusively breast fed.
In your case he is only taking during sleeping so be relaxed.
