Breast feeding and antibiotics

[dippy dee]

Hi everyone i'm sorry if this sounds daft but can i still bf whilst taking antibiotics? I have bronchitis and have been put on a 7 day course.
I was bf Harley at the doctors so i guess it is ok but i just thought i would check with you wonderful girls.
Thankyou xx

Pretty sure you'll be ok if the doctor is aware you're b/feeding. I was given penicillin for tonsilitis and the doc said they were fine to take, although I didn't end up taking them in the end.

I was also on them when Poppy was first born as the hospital thought I had Strep C (I didn't) and she was fine having my b/milk in her tube feeds. If you want to be 100% sure, pop to a chemist and ask a pharmacist, or do a quick Google
