Taking penicillin whilst breastfeeding?

[beansbeans!]

Thanks
Yeah I didn't like her response when I said I didn't want to take anything that would affect bfeeding, and I did question her about it and asked for other options just didn't get them with her.
I shall keep in mind the nipple thrush, thanks
Thanks hoti, I shall keep that number close at hand.

I ended up going to my trusty chemist and talking to them in there. They looked it up for me, and definitely should be avoided if I was bfeeding a newborn, but because she is over 12months she should be safe. The only worry according to them is if she has a sensitivity to penicillin, which will come out in a rash if she is.

Thank you

I suspect it would be fine, particularly since your child is 13 months old
