A member asked:

If i am taking medicine to clear a bladder infection, can i still breastfeed my baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BREASTFEEDING: The baby will get the medication through breastfeeding. Since it is therapeutic amount i think you can still continue breastfeeding.Depending on the rx , ask your dr the safety of it.
