This is true, you may be able to go on Zithromax as they do give this to babies.

When you hit 6 months and the baby is on solids, may be a good time to start, as

the breastmilk quantity is decreasing. You could also consider the half life of

the drug, as if you only take MWF, it may last 4 -8 hours in your system, and

you can pump and dump during that time , and nurse more at night if you take ABx

in the morning, or if your baby sleeps through the night, you can take the Abx

in the evening and by morning much or the drug may be eliminated. In that case

get up a bit early , pump and dump, and give a bottle (maybe you can store some

milk up now for later) of breastmilk in the morning on those days. I don't know

how you feel about this, but you can check Human milk for Human babies, which is

a facebook page with moms in all areas willing to donate breastmilk.

I nursed after a breast reduction, and thus had a 50% supply with both babies.

Even though they had to have formula and donor milk, the milk they did get from

me was worth it. Its not all or nothing, we all have unique situations

Good luck with everything.

Make sure you have a good long talk with your pediatrician first. From what I

understand, Minocin does get into the baby thru breast milk and can have side

effects on the teeth and maybe various other organs. There are other

antibiotics that can be substituted for nursing moms. Minocin is the drug of

choice especially for people with scleroderma. But other drugs of the

tetracycline family are just as good for R/A. Check that out carefully and do

your homework, so you don't have regrets later on with the baby. Dolores &

I got a few results back today - have not spoke with the Dr. yet.

However, I wanted to ask if anyone has had a CBC DIFFERENTIAL PLATELET

drawn where their GRANS were High and their LYMPHS tested low. From

what I read this can indicate infection, which is interesting and

would make even more sense to start AP. I have yet to start AP due to

breastfeeding my 4 month old, but plan to.

This is GREAT advice, thank you both. I wasn't going to try AP until I was

done nursing completely, but you've given me something to think about and

talk to pediatrician and my Dr. too. I am very committed to try to

breastfeed my son like I did my daughter for 1 year..no formula for either

thus far.

Carey,

If I remember correctly, Erythromycin is considered safe for lactating

women. Ask your doctor

Take care,

Ute

Thanks Ute! I will check into that.
