Hi ladies
My first post here. Had my dd 3 days ago.... Totally new to bf .... My story so far is that I left hospital not having a Good latch, I finally got sorted next day when community midwife came out.... Scarlett got weighed today she was 9 lbs 4 at birth and is. 7 lbs 15 now..... I'm feeding her non stop now that my milk is in.... She's really cluster feeding. My nipples are so sore though as I got a blister from the earlier bad latch issue
Anyway I'm so worried about her weight gain.... My dr prescribed erthyromicin today as I said I thought my bleeding had stoped and I was concerned about infection... My bleeding had went much much lighter but it's not stopped... Kinda pinkish now sorry if tmi... To be honest I'm terrified of repeat of what happened with dd1 as I had an infection and a huge haemorrhage day 11 when i was re admitted to hospital .... Anyway I think I panicked and told doctor I thought I had an infection but I'm not sure I have....
Is it safe to take antibiotics when breast feeding?
Will it affect my baby gaining all the weight she's lost already???
I'm so new to this and terrified,,,, I don't wanna be sick myself but I've waited 3 years to get my chance at trying breast feeding again and I don't want it robbed off me again like with dd....
