Need advice ASAP (BF & Antiobitics & C-section complication)
I had a scar infection after my unplanned c section (undiagnosed breech) and
had to take antibiotics. My baby, too, was about 1 week old. I chose to continue breastfeeding while on the antibiotics as I figured this was better than risking nipple confusion and eventual breast refusal. It all worked out great. DD had hardly any diarhhoea, if at all. At that age the poos are pretty loose anyway and I didn't see that it made her any more uncomfortable. I didn't see any behavioural changes in her. We are still going strong on the breastfeeding front after 11 months. Like the others I think that it was a choice between breast milk with a trace of antibiotic and formula and I thought that, longterm, the breast milk was the way to go. I hope everything works out well for your SIL. Engram |
