Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin is safe during breastfeeding. It's one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics postpartum and is well-tolerated by breastfed infants. Consult your healthcare provider.
Amoxicillin transfers into breast milk in small amounts but is well below therapeutic infant doses. The main potential issue is alteration of the infant's gut microbiome, which is mild and transient. Watch for infant diarrhea or diaper rash — these are common and manageable. The AAP considers amoxicillin compatible with breastfeeding.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
