my daughter is EBF her 4 week old. She has an infection in her finger was in the ER tonight. They had to do a nerve block & lance her finger. OUCH Anyway. They gave her a shot and THEN said don't Breast feed. GEE THANKS huh!

Right now we are feeding the baby frozen BM and shes pumping & dumping but her question is how long does she have to wait until she can nurse her again? She was given a shot of 1 gram CEFTRIAXONE

Thank you so much! I told her if anyone knows the answer it would be one of you mommies!

Here's a list of AAP approved drugs during breastfeeding: http://www.kellymom.com/health/meds/...ml#Antibiotics

Checked Hale's "Medication and Mother's Milk" and it looks like with a 1g shot she doesn't need to pump and dump at all, it's listed as L2, which is the 2nd most safe category, roughly equivalent to pregnancy category B.
