It's very thoughtful and responsible of you to ask before using any medication while breastfeeding.
Stomach protective medications (proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists) are generally considered safe during breastfeeding according to pediatric guidelines: most pass into breast milk in very small amounts and are usually considered safe for babies. However, this doesn't mean "every stomach protector is suitable for every mother."
The key point is this: A doctor who evaluates your overall health condition and your baby's age and weight should decide which active ingredient you need, at what dose, and for how long. Your doctor will prescribe the safest option for breastfeeding.
In short: Don't start a stomach protector on your own. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterology specialist or your family doctor as soon as possible.
