This medication is excreted in the human milk and can cause unwanted effects on the nursing infant
Because of atenolol's relatively extensive excretion into breastmilk and its extensive renal excretion, other agents may be preferred while nursing a newborn or preterm infant or with high maternal dosages
There have been reports of babies with slow heart rate, low blood pressure, a bluish color in the skin due to a lack of oxygen in the blood (cyanosis), and low body temperature after being exposed to atenolol through breast milk

Atenolol comes only as a tablet you take by mouth
Our findings support the careful use of atenolol during breastfeeding, since in the vast majority of healthy, term infants, atenolol concentrations will be too low to be clinically
Atenolol concentrations were below assay quantification limits (<10 ng/mL) in the plasma of all 3- to 4-month-old nursing infants studied
Conclusion: Atenolol use during breastfeeding should be undertaken with some precaution
