As i research it is Levofloxacin is the S-enantiomer of the fluoroquinolone, ofloxacin. Fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin have traditionally not been used in infants because of concern about adverse effects on the infants' developing joints. However, recent studies indicate little risk.[1][2] The calcium in milk might prevent absorption of the small amounts of fluoroquinolones in milk,[3] but insufficient data exist to prove or disprove this assertion. Short-term use of levofloxacin is acceptable in nursing mothers. Avoiding breastfeeding between 4 to 6 hours after a dose should decrease the exposure of the infant to levofloxacin in breastmilk. Maternal use of an eye drop that contains levofloxacin presents negligible risk for the nursing infant.

How long must you wait to breast feed after taking medication?
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.

A loving father will want his child to receive the very best start in life. Hands down this would be breast feeding. He should make sure the mother of his child has a peaceful environment to nurse the child. That she is given the time and space to do this important act of love.
