Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your query.
Brief answer:Yes,Harmful.better to be avoided.
Detailed answer:I would not recommend,actually it is a drug to be avoided while breast feeding because drug's excretion status in breast milk is not studied well and it can interfere with your girl's normal growth and sexual maturity
I strongly advise you better to find an alternative way of feeding like infant formula feed etc for your baby with pediatrician's advice.Hope i have answered your query.If any questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
