That really helps. Yup my fever was gone within 24 hours, so now I'm just waiting on the rest...Hopefully soon and my supply wont suffer too much :) Thanks again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-dynapen-dicloxacillin-while-nursing#post-82760 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:34:51 +0000 Maysprout 82760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My fever was gone within 24 hours and I felt a lot better. The lump though took several days to completely go away. And it was probably 5 days or so after the antibiotic that I felt like my strength was back to normal, mastitis really wiped me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-dynapen-dicloxacillin-while-nursing#post-82756 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:32:01 +0000 anbanan15 82756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Thanks. From what I read dyapen is common for mastitis (it's the one listed on kellymom too). How long did it take for the lump to go away? I feel much better but that's still there and I'm not able to get much out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-dynapen-dicloxacillin-while-nursing#post-82725 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:06:18 +0000 Maysprout 82725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember which antibiotic I took when I had mastitis but it was OKd for breastfeeding by the doc and some online stuff I looked up. I think it may have affected her temporarily, her poos were different, but after I finished the antibiotics she went back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-dynapen-dicloxacillin-while-nursing#post-82690 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:47:12 +0000 anbanan15 82690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you continue to nurse or pump and dump during the time you were taken the medication? Did LO start to not nurse well?</p> <p>I was just prescribed this for a breast infection (mastitis) by my OB/GYN and was encouraged to continue to breast feed, however dynapen is a class B drug, which does pass into the breast milk. It's in the penicillin family and I'm not sure if I want DS to nurse while I'm taking it. I took 3 pills so far and DS seem to not be nursing well (which could be from the clogged duct) and he is a total bear! Fussy, not sleeping, etc. I gave him a bottle of frozen milk and he ate much better... Maybe I shouldn't even take the medication? I feel much better today, less flu-like, but my breast is still sore. </p>
