"Administer sustained release formulation to the mother" is the statement.

Explanation:

Sustained Release formulation may have long term effect on the infant through the breast feeding milk. As a result of this, these drug formulations should be stopped to the mother who is breast feeding. Drugs that have a long half life should not be administered to a breast feeding mother to reduce the toxic effect of the drug on the infant.

The lowest possible dosage of the drug should be given for the smallest possible time to the mother to avoid toxic effects on the mother. The dosing of the drug should be given to the mother immediately after the breast feeding so that the the drug concentration in the milk is minimized in the next time of breast feeding.
