Hi,welcome to healthcaremagic forum.
It is not contraindicated in breast feeding.But high dose(as used for postponement of mensus) may suppress milk output,and also causes unnecessary exposure of the child to progesterone.So it is better to avoid during breastfeeding(though not cause significant problems).
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
