co amoxiclav when breastfeeding?

[MegMog]

ds is 14 days old. Have been prescribed co amoxiclav for possible postnatal infection. Has anyone else taken this whilst breastfeeding? I am getting really paranoid as he has already had antibotics for several days after birth for possible infection and now I am on them how bad is it for him? I could have waited for the results of my swabs to come back but have been feeling a bit odd and uncomfortable and the doctor felt I should start them rather than wait....

also, he has terrible colic despite my breastfeeding - and tips as infacol doesn't rreally seem to help and don't really want to give him a dummy.

I have taken to co sleeping at night but don't want him to get used to this, feel like I might be making a rod for my own back.

Any advice? Sorry for the jumbled post - am sleep deprived

MegMog - ah it's hard isn't it. Yes that drug is fine. I've taken much worse for an actual uterine infection, twice, both babies have been fine. He might had weird nappies. Don't worry about it, it's a side effect of the antibiotic, it won't do him harm.

Colic....well perhaps he's just young? With DD I thought she had colic and looking back she was just young and cross. She grew out of it in a few months (I know months sounds a long time away!) I did find a tummy tub helped a lot though.

I co slept with DD for two months and then moved her into a cot, she didn't sleep any more or any less either way but I was less anxious to start with with her in bed for me.

Rods and backs are overrated imho and tend to be issued by well meaning but wrong relatives. Trust your instincts. Babies change weekly, there are very few habits you can get into which you can't get out of (except obviously if you quit breastfeeding).

Everyone feels awful two weeks after having a baby, six weeks is the worse bit (the crying reaches a pitch at six weeks - wish I'd known this, DD drove me demented) but you will get through this.

Congratulations btw.
