Breastfeeding WWYD?

[swizz09]

So last Friday I was put on an antibiotic. Said antibiotic wasn't clearing the infection up so after I took my morning dosage (before I could get a hold of my doctor) my doctor switched me to another one which I took 9 hours after my first one.
Last night I developed serious pain so I went to an urgent care. They once again gave me a different antibiotic (the one I thought I should have been on in the first place). I took that one 8.5 hours after antibiotic 2.

So this morning I pumped 14 ounces. I am thinking about dumping it because I had 3 different antibiotics with in 24 hours and I felt that was a bit intense.
So would you dump too?

I hope your infection clears up soon. I'm not sure what I would do. I would probably call the pediatrician. I would hate to dump 14 ounces if not necessary.

By the way I'm jealous of your ability to pump 14 ounces in one session.

Thanks, I thought about calling them too. Don't worry, I only pumped that much because I went 10 hours without feeding or pumping, but that is about half of what I pump in a day...

I would call the pedi or the hotline emerald always suggests. I forget what it's called. Also could dilute it like with alcohol. Add an oz to antibiotic free milk at a time

Same call the Pedi. 10 hours - ouch!

I read this as "dilute with alcohol" and I was like

What antibiotics are they?

The hotline is infant risk 806-352-2519

Thanks for that number mrscjmb. I'm going to put that in my phone now.
slsl509 they were amoxicillin azythromyicin and now macrobid.

I think it's probably fine, but I'd call the hotline too. I don't think my pedi would really know. They aren't totally up on BF'ing and I think a lot of the time medical professionals say to pump and dump just to cover their asses.

Infant risk hotline per above and I hope you're feeling better soon!!

Did you get azithromycin for a bladder infection? I hope not.

All of these are drugs that can be used in kids so I think you're fine. The timing of the 3 doesn't really worry me. I'm curious what the hotline will say.
