>>German physicians (who prescribe it for infertility) avoid it in lactating mothers because of concerns about the potential to lower the milk supply (lowers prolactin and milk in rats; in humans, using it for >2 weeks was associated with a quicker return of menses).<< The studies were on men, and what they found was that while small amounts stimulated Prolactin production, large amounts hindered it.
