Brief Answer:
Deviry is considered to be safe during lactation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern regarding the safety of Deviry while breast feeding.
There's nothing to worry.
Deviry is a hormonal preparation (Medroxyprogesterone) commonly used to treat conditions such as absent or irregular menstrual periods, or abnormal uterine bleeding. It is excreted in the breast milk but the amount is not sufficient enough to have adverse impact on the suckling infant or child and hence it is considered to be safe during lactation.

Stomach pain could be due to some other cause and it will subside with the use of the prescribed medication Colicaid. If your daughter does not improve let her get examined by a child specialist.

Hope this answers your query.
