I accidentally took an extra dose of antibiotics. could it affect my breastmilk?

Unlikely to matter: Most antibiotics, including those that would be given to the kid, are considered harmless during breast feeding. There are a few exceptions, but it unlikely they would be prescribed to you while nursing.
