Depends: on what antibiotic and the dose of the steroid you were prescribed.

Breast Feeding: Likely you were given a script for Amoxicillin. If so, safe to breast feed. A short course of Prednisone will not be harmful. All the best.

Yes: It's perfectly fine to breast feed while taking either or both of the meds you're on. Thanks for giving your baby what's best - BREAST!
