Medicine breast feed: All medicine passes into breast milk, some more than others. Call the OB/gyn and ask it that one would be ok. You could also call poison control.

Yes: A single dose or even a couple per day are unlikely to effect baby. A mild degree of sedation would be the expected effect at high levels of exposures.
