Please don't make your own diagnosis and treatment.
Consult with your Gynaecologist who can give an advice after proper examination of your wife.
In fact more than that also ask the Paediatrician.

Plain bronchodilators like Asthalin & Levolin are safe. Take Foracort if asthmatic symptoms are severe, as very small amount of corticosteroids can be secreted in breast milk.
