Dr. Hale has a lengthy write up on Flagyl which concludes "Thus far, no reports of untoward effects in breastfed infants have been published for the 2 gram STAT dose, or the 250 mg. three times daily for 10 day dose regimen." & " Metronidazole is the treatment of choice for pediactric giardiasis (AAP)" :-) Hope this helps.
