A member asked:
I breastfeed my 21 month old baby, is it safe to take antibiotics while he is in antibiotics too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes: There are only a few antibiotics that you would take that would not be tolerated by a breastfeeding kid. Some will pass through the milk, but if we would give it to the kid at that age for any reason it is okay if you take it. If you start over and list the medication we could be more specific with the response.
