Forgot to ask DOC. DD is 2 and only gets a little feed before bedtime.

I would carry on the breastfeeding and take the drugs.

I don't the amount in the breastmilk is going to make a lot of difference. Your GP would not have prescribed the anti biotics to you and your baby if there was a problem. Most GPs are very conservative when it comes to breastfeeding and drugs. He/she would not risk getting struck off by making a serious mistake.

If your child is ill then breastmilk will help your child get better.

You could go down to your local chemist and ask the pharmaist. A pharmaist would be more knowledgable about drugs than anyone.
