At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found.
Because of high serum protein-binding capacity, excretion into breast milk in significant amount is seemingly unlikely.
If continuation of safely breastfeeding is desired without assuming high risk for potentially severe side-effects, elimination of total burden of drug should be kept. For this to happen, it should be wait for 10 half-lives (T ½).
It means that 7 days should be waited before resuming breastfeeding.
Meanwhile, frequent pump-and-dump is recommended for maintenance of milk production.
