Having to stop Breastfeeding...please help!

[LizP77]

Hi..please help!!!

DS is 7 weeks old and breastfeeding...(oh, and loves it!). I had a C section, and have had some problems with the scar healing. A couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed having MRSA, which after 2 failed treatments mean I have to go onto antibiotics...which mean I have to stop breastfeeding.

When we had this a couple of weeks ago, we tried DS on Aptamel, which he seemed to have an allergic reaction to. So, the doc tried an alternative treatment...which still hasn;t worked.

So its back to trying to find a formula he likes...

Any advice on which? Also, whats the best way to make up formula...can it be done in advance?

Really appreciate any advice...

Thanks

kalo - the fact that docs are saying one thing means nothing. My GP has been telling me for weeks I can't take anything for thrush until she actually looked it up!

Pharmacists and BFing experts normally know more about drugs in these instances.

That your baby had a reaction, while sad, means nothing. "The plural of anecdote is not data."
