“Antibiotic while breastfeeding?”
I am on Co-Amoxiclav (3×day) for an infection and breastfeeding my 12 days newborn. Is it safe to breastfeed and do I need to give him a probiotic to avoid gut problems?

That medication is safe while breastfeeding.
That antibiotic appears to be safe for lactating mothers. When taking any medication, be sure to tell your physician that you’re breast feeding.
If you are a patient seeking information related to your case the quickest way to get the information you need is to book either a phone or video consultation through our website or the appointments phone number below. I am afraid I get so many emails that it often takes quite a while to get around to reading them. Thank you for your understanding.
