I posted a few days ago when having nightmares trying to BF a now 14-day old DC 4 (first-time struggling mums take heart - even 'old hands' can have difficulties!). Thanks to MN advice (and things like getting a BF professional to come round), things seem to be moving in the right direction (but they are still slow). However, I have just been told that I have an infection and will most likely need to take antibiotics to clear it (what next?!). I am reluctant to take ABs as I feel that breastfeeding is just being established but do need to clear it. What are people's experiences of taking ABs while breastfeeding? Did you express and throw the milk? Did you BF as normal? Really not sure what to do for the best but do need to start the ABs as can feel it getting worse.
