Is it allowed to take Enoxaparin Sodium during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

This is a Heparin with low molecular weight There is published evidence of a lack of anti-coagulant activity in the serum of breastfed infants whose mothers were treated with Enoxaparin. The high molecular weight of the so-called standard or non-fragmented Heparin and others called low weight Heparins makes that excretion into breast milk very unlikely. There is scientific proof on the lack of excretion of Dalteparin into breast milk. In addition, Heparin derived drugs are inactivated in the gut and they are not absorbed at all, hence, oral bioavailability is nil. The risk of Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia and Osteoporosis is lower with low weight Heparin among treated adults.

I was just diagnosed with my 2nd DVT. Same treatment as before; Lovenox and coumadin. This time i was given the generic, enoxaparain. I think it is just as good as the brand name. My husband gives me my injections and I only feel it about 1/2 the time. I do, however, get the burning for about 3-5 minutes after. And, I have had some bruising.
