The use of stomach protector medication during breastfeeding varies depending on the active ingredient used. The general pediatric view is that some stomach protectors (for example, certain proton pump inhibitors) pass into breast milk at very low rates and are generally considered safe. However, each medication has a different safety profile during breastfeeding.
So the clear rule is: Your doctor who is treating you should know about the stomach protector and approve it. Also tell your pharmacist that you're breastfeeding. Don't start taking a stomach protector on your own, even if you took it before, without consulting your doctor while breastfeeding.
