Is it allowed to take Ipratropium Bromide during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

At latest update no published data on excretion into breastmilk were found.

 Because of a large volume of distribution along with a very low or undetectable plasma concentration reached after inhalation (Laurikainen 1988, Wood 1995), it must be very unlikely the passage of significant amounts into breastmilk.
Its low oral bioavailability would hamper the pass to the infant’s plasma through the breastmilk ingested.
It has been used to treat newborns (Pediamecum 2015). 

Experts and scientific societies consider the use of ipratropium bromide during breastfeeding as devoid of risk to the infant (van Haren 1998, National Asthma Education 2004, Amir 2011).

I use this in combination with Albuterol Sulfate via a nebulizer. It works quickly. I really like it!

I use in nebulizer as a combo med with albuterol. The neb solution seems to work longer than the rescue inhaler (albuterol only). The percentage of IB contained in one dose is so tiny (0.0173%). Is there a stronger combo available?
