No problems with supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antibiotics-and-breastfeeding-1#post-2103917 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 12:48:20 +0000 PurplePeony 2103917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Antibiotics had no effect on my supply, but I'd add a probiotic to both your diet and your LO's because sometimes enough antibiotic can pass through the milk to cause diarrhea and subsequently diaper rash. My doc said the benefit of me feeling better was worth the slight downside of the baby getting a bit of antibiotic through the milk, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antibiotics-and-breastfeeding-1#post-2103819 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 12:06:35 +0000 autumnlove 2103819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was worried about this but it never happened and I took amox and cipro. I pumped and nursed during the 10 day courses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antibiotics-and-breastfeeding-1#post-2103813 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 12:02:36 +0000 winniebee 2103813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ive been sick for 9 days and finally dragged myself to the doc and have a sinus infection. Lovely. Doc prescribed ammox. I want to get better but am worried about my supply, which has already tanked from being sick. </p> <p>If you took antibiotics while BF, did your supply tank? For how long? </p>
