Good morning, ma'am, As you mentioned, Vyvanse is present in milk. Diarrhea is not a common side effect of this medication, but it is not impossible. How long have you been breastfeeding, how long have you been taking Vyvanse, and how long has your baby had diarrhea? Thanks for the clarification! In this case, just monitor his general condition. The diarrhea should be mild, and usually temporary. I hope I've been helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
