I think it should be fine. You can take it pregnant so why not nursing. We had
a pt. not take it because she was pregnant and of course she came down with it
after her child had it. The research is that one pt. had some side effects but
no one else did.  Her side effects might have been anxiety related. Sorry I
don't know my resource since I used a book at work.
