yes. the amount is neglible. it is used as an anti-malarial agent for hundreds of years and is very safe at the doses used for that. it has been used as an abortifacient at very high doses which has made people unnecessarily concerned about its use in pregnancy. it has not been shown to be teratogenic in humans.

No it does not protect you from pregnancy. You are also extra fertile after birth. If the only food the baby gets is your milk you might be protected the first 6 months as long as he eats nothing else.

Quinine is excreted in small amount into the breast milk. Effects to the baby is unlikely but the diagnosis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency should be ruled out before breast-feeding so ask your doctor. Quinine is considered compatible with breast-feeding by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
