Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

Yes, you may give the medication to your wife for a short period even while she is breastfeeding.
Studies show that potential benefits outweigh any possible risks in breastfeeding women.
So if it has been prescribed to your wife, she may take it.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.

Regards.

Do I need to stop the breastfeeding while medication, for a short time like 1 week as baby is very small and she can stay without feeding.

What is your opinion on that? should I give medicine and also allow to Breastfeed to baby?
