I did locate a good amount of details regarding the safety of breastfeeding while taking this medication, which you can view below:

"Do not breast-feed infants younger than 1 month old while you are taking Nitrofurantoin. If your child is older than 1 month, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby."

"Nitrofurantoin is excreted into human milk. Nitrofurantoin is considered compatible with breast-feeding by the American Academy of Pediatrics, although there is a theoretical risk of hemolytic anemia in neonates and G-6-PD-deficient infants. The manufacturer recommends that due to the potential for serious adverse effects in infants less than one month old, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother."

I hope this information helps ease some concerns, being that your baby is older than 1 month. It seems though, that you may still want to contact your doctor because of this age factor, just to play it safe.
