Per Drugs.Com: "Limited information indicates that maternal pantoprazole doses of 40 mg daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants." REF: https://www.drugs.com/breastfeeding/pantoprazole.html It sounds like your physician may be correct on this one.
