Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to hcm

Detailed Answer:
If there is no possibility to treat nausea with diet changes and natural supplements then benefit is higher than risks since risks are minor and some significant effect of raglan on babys health is rarely reported. Raglan isn't medicine which is contraindicated during breastfeeding but also it shouldn't be used in high dosages and you should take it only when there is strong indication for it. Wish you good health.Regards
