Psychotropic prescriptions (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System codes N05\u2013N06) filled by mothers during the recorded breastfeeding period were identified in the Prescription Registry. We calculated the prevalence of potential exposure to any psychotropic medication (expressed per 1000 infants), categorised by drug class and stratified by maternal demographic and clinical factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 446,573 exclusively breastfed infants, 7882 (17.6 per 1000 infants, 95% confidence interval [CI] 17.2, 18.1) were exposed to at least one, and 699 (1.6 per 1000 infants, 95% CI 1.5, 1.7) to two different psychotropic medications via breastfeeding. The most frequent exposure was antidepressants, with a prevalence of 15.0 per 1000 infants (95% CI 14.6, 15.4), primarily sertraline. This was followed by hypnotics and sedatives, at 1.3 per 1000 infants (95% CI 1.2, 1.4), predominantly zopiclone, and antipsychotics, at 1.1 per 1000 infants (95% CI 1.0, 1.2), mainly quetiapine. Psychotropic medication exposure in exclusively breastfed infants increased 1.39\u2010fold, from 15.7 per 1000 infants (95% CI 14.5, 17.1) in 2012 to 21.8 per 1000 infants (95% CI 20.3, 23.4) in 2022. This increase was observed for all drug classes except anxiolytics.
