Could i ignore mild bacterial vaginosis symptoms if i am breastfeeding & don't want to take the antibiotics? can it go away on its own?

Yes you can; it can: Yes, you can "ignore mild bacterial vaginosis symptoms if you are breast feeding". Yes, your symptoms may be "self-limiting and spontaneously resolve. Mild BV may "go away on its own".
