Penicillin
Penicillin antibiotics are safe during breastfeeding. They pass into milk in small amounts and are compatible with nursing. Consult your healthcare provider.
Penicillin and its derivatives (including amoxicillin-clavulanate/Augmentin) are safe during breastfeeding. Amounts in breast milk are small. The main concern is sensitization — rarely, infants with penicillin allergy exposure through milk may become sensitized, though this is theoretical. Watch for infant GI changes or rash. The AAP considers penicillins compatible with breastfeeding.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
