Cyclopam (Dicyclomine) can be taken occasionally for menstrual pain while nursing a 3-year-old, as only small amounts pass into breast milk, and it's generally considered safe. However, monitor your child for any signs of drowsiness or feeding changes, and consult your doctor for personalized advice.
