Don’t worry. A single dose of Saridon is unlikely to harm your baby.
You do not need to stop breastfeeding. By 6 months, the amount passing into breast milk is minimal and clinically insignificant.
Just observe your baby for any unusual symptoms (excess sleepiness, poor feeding, irritability)—which are very unlikely.
For future headaches, prefer paracetamol alone, which is safe during breastfeeding.

1 tablet will not cause any serious effects but consider plain paracetamol for pain the next time

Greetings
Taking a single dose of Saridon is unlikely to cause serious harm to a 6-month-old, but watch for unusual sleepiness or fussiness. While its paracetamol content is generally safe, the propyphenazone and caffeine make it less ideal for breastfeeding. To be extra cautious, you can wait about 4 to 6 hours before your next feed or "pump and dump" during that window. For future pain, consider safer alternatives like Ibuprofen or plain Paracetamol,
