Can I use Amoxicillin in breastfeeding?
Any medication with breastfeeding should be taken with extreme caution. During this period, the composition of breast milk can penetrate the chemicals from the drug, and harm the immature organism of the infant.
In the instructions for the use of antibiotic Amoxicillin it is said that when lactated, it penetrates into breast milk in small amounts, and it should be used with caution in this period. Therefore, to recommend the use of Amoxicillin during breastfeeding, a doctor can only with a reasonably good reason.
But even in this case, the nursing mother can protect the child from the harmful effects of the antibiotic. For the period of taking Amoxicillin with GV, it is possible to temporarily stop breastfeeding the baby. In this case, you need to regularly express and try to maintain lactation. Of course, this requires some effort. But resorting to such radical measures is necessary if the administration of Amoxicillin during breastfeeding can not be avoided.
Naturally, taking antibiotic Amoxicillin during feeding should be justified by good reasons. If your mother just got fever, got a sore throat, or there are other signs of ARVI, do not immediately take medication. First, call a doctor. And then you can just keep bed rest and drink more fluids.
Breastfeeding mother should take care of herself and the baby, and try to keep the GW as long as possible. Admission Amoxicillin during lactation can adversely affect both the child itself and the duration of breastfeeding. After all, not every mother has the strength and patience to keep lactation without feeding the baby. Expressed 6-7 times a day, sterilize bottles and give food - a heavy fee for taking Amoxicillin for a nursing woman.
Be always healthy, and remember - on your way of life depends the health of another little person.
