If a mother takes benzodiazepine, including Xanax, during pregnancy, the child will suffer withdrawal symptoms during and after birth. Long-term adult patients will experience Xanax withdrawal if they do not taper off the drug slowly and carefully, and the same is true of an infant born to a mother who took Xanax during her pregnancy. Additionally, respiratory problems as well as neonatal flaccidity are commonly reported when an infant is born to a mother who took Xanax during her pregnancy. A mother can also transfer Xanax to her child by way of breastfeeding. A mother must either choose to take Xanax and not breastfeed, or discontinue Xanax until the child has stopped breastfeeding.
