I'm not sure exactly how long you must wait before breast feeding after taking Valium, which would also depend on the dose the mother has taken. However, I do know Valium, (a/k/a Diazapam), is long-acting, and whatever a breast feeding mother ingests will be passed to the child through 'mother's milk'. (When my child was newborn, I had a badly abccessed tooth, for which I was given Demerol to treat the pain. My infant child, after breast feeding, became very drowsy, and it scared me half-to-death! But, that was Demerol, and it was a pretty high dose due to the severe oral pain.) If taking a small dose (5mg), I wouldn't think it would not have serious effects, but you should consult a doctor or pharmacist to be certain.

You should not take any medication while breast feeding your baby that has not been prescribed by a physician. Be sure to tell your physician and pharmacist that you are breast feeding.

the absolute dose excreted in milk is quite low, and tramadol is generally considered to be acceptable for use in breastfeeding mothers

Can a woman with Crohn's disease breast feed and If so for how long?

There should be no reason not to breast feed. If you are currently on maintenance doses of medication always check with your doctors about the medications you are on as some do pass through to the milk. Comfort could be the real deciding factor as having to quickly interrupt the feeding to run to the toilet may spoil the experience/bonding for the baby.
