Antibiotics and breast feeding?

Question

So this might be a dumb question and I have tried googling it but couldn't find much. I have a heart condition which requires me to take antibiotics prior to giving birth. My question is.. Will I be able to breast feed after taking the antibiotics?

Answer

Always ask your doctor or midwife to be sure... But this is a great online database of medications & what are safe for breastfeeding. If you are outside of the United States, you may need to search for the generic name of certain drugs since brand names can differ by country.

Answer

If they're safe for pregnancy, they are likely safe for breastfeeding. You should be fine. :)

Answer

Yes. I had antibiotics before labor and breastfed right after.
