Women on low doses of methadone who are not HIV positive are encouraged to breastfeed. Women who are hepatitis C positive are usually able to breastfeed, but should check with their doctor.

The benefits of breastfeeding are felt to outweigh the effect of the tiny amount of methadone that enters the breast milk. Once the baby is three to six months old, and is drinking large amounts of breast milk, he or she is also getting larger amounts of methadone. For this reason the baby should either be weaned at this time, or the mother should stop taking methadone. (Mothers should only stop methadone if they are sure this will not lead to a return to drug use.)
