Based on our results and case reports in literature, paternal MTX exposure at the time of conception does not seem to raise any major concern for offspring.

The amount of quinine that is transmitted through breast milk appears to be sufficient to induce G6PD crises in breastfed children. We hence recommend that consumption of quinine-containing sodas during breastfeeding should be avoided in populations with a high prevalence of G6PD deficiency. What is Known: • G6PD hemolytic events are linked with exposure to a pro-oxidant agent. • Ingestion of fava beans by a mother who was breastfeeding has been reported to induce a neonatal G6PD crisis. What is New: • Maternal consumption of tonic drink which contains quinine appears to be sufficient to induce G6PD crises in breastfed children. • Maternal consumption of quinine-containing sodas during breastfeeding should be avoided in populations with a high prevalence of G6PD deficiency.
