Meds for worms while breastfeeding?

All the info I can find says don't take anything. Ds3 is 13 months though and am I right in thinking he should be given the treatment now in his own right? and if so doesn't that mean that I am safe to take it?
I haven't got threadworms that I know of but dd has and I've also treated ds1 and 2 and will treat dh when he gets home. I can't be bothered with this being an ongoing thing though so would prefer to treat myself and ds3 now if possible.
I can't get onto that link that everyone posts on all the other breastfeeding/worms threads for some reason so can't see what it says hence starting my own

If you don't have worms, you don't need treating. No treatment preparations are licenced for use in breastfeeding anyway.

Mebendazole not suitable for children under 2 and the manufacturer suggests avoid use if breastfeeding.

Piperazine more suitable and manufacturer suggests pump and dump breast milk for 8hrs after the dose.
