Sorry I'm not sure if this is the right topic heading?

Really gutted as Ive not touched so much as a paracetamol since finding out I was pregnant, BUT I've been prescribed Amoxycillin for a gum infection, I asked if I could ride it out and was told it wouldn't go away/may get really bad.

I'm EBF with my now 2 month old. I didn't want to stop breastfeeding whilst taking the tabs (500mg 3 x a day for 5 days)

The potential side effects for baby seem minimal and really hoping he has none, everyone medical has said it's safe while breastfeeding.

Just wondering if there's anything I can do or take to help encourage healthy gut flora, specific foods? Or any advice in general.

Thank you
