Is clindamycin compatible with breastfeeding?

Hello, Thank you for your question! There is indeed a lot of conflicting information on the internet, you have come to the right place for an answer! The risk often mentioned on the web is the one related to the fact that a small amount of medication can pass through the milk, sometimes, but rarely, causing a change in the stool (more liquid stools). With the information you mention such as the situation and the fact that you just finished another antibiotic, it is more likely that the risks of not treating your infection are greater than the risks to the baby.To put it in perspective, this is an antibiotic that is sometimes given to newborns to treat certain infections and the amount that potentially "crosses over" into the milk is only 4% of the dose that your baby would be given if he or she were to be treated with this antibiotic. So don't stop breastfeeding during treatment!Don't hesitate to come back here or to the pharmacy if you notice any changes in your baby's stools that worry you! Congratulations on the birth of your child! Have a great day, Michael

Very happy to have reassured you! Again, don't hesitate if there is anything! Michael
