Had a great pregnancy - not even puked once, but now it's just one bugger after another still bleeding 3 weeks after delivery, no tears but aching all the same, and worst of all - cystitis. Been given trimethoprim. GP looked in his magic book where it said "excreted into breast milk but short-term exposure is safe". I looked up online tho and found lots of references to it being a no-no for b/f mums one site said b/f should be stopped during the entire course of treatment (I was told 5 days).
So i'm now thinking - should I switch to formula? Or say, b/feed 4-5 times a day, at a time when the drug concentration in my system is (supposedly) at its lowest, and give him formula Or stick to b/f and hope for the best? I've also got a bit of milk sitting in the freezer but that's only going to last 6-7 feeds (that's if i worked out how much he needs right )
Has anyone taken trimethoprim? Any comments?
