Hello again, I have another drug question. I know that for full term healthy newborns there has been more acceptance of mom being on Flagyl and continuing to breastfeed. We now have a mother of twins that were born preterm last week and weigh about 1 1/2 # each. She is pumping her breasts and her milk is in. The babies are not getting mother's milk yet and she was told to pump and dump her milk while on the Flagyl. She is fine with this since the neonatologist advised it. My suggestion to her was that rather than dump this milk she could label it and freeze it at home and have it stored for some point in the future when she has her (hopefully) bigger and healthy babies at home. She will be on it 5 more days. I guess my questions are whether Flagyl is really OK for a mom pumping for a healthy full term baby and whether it would be more problematic for these tiny babies once they are being fed. They were born mid last week. Thanks for any suggestions &/or ideas.
