It's probably best not to breastfeed after taking Aleve (Naproxen).
Aleve is excreted into breast milk and can affect the baby.You could express her next feed, discard it, and give her a bottle of milk formula instead - that way you will maintain your supply.
This is from http://www.drugs.com/pregnancy/naproxen.html
"... Naproxen is excreted into human milk in very small amounts. The manufacturer recommends that due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants (prostaglandin-inhibiting effect on neonates), the use in nursing women should be avoided."
