Today I was checking the PDR for some info about Bactroban (mupirocin), a topical antibiotic ointment, when I noticed it advised breastfeeding be discontinued while using this ointment. This is ridiculous!! Taking their logic a step further, we could say that since we wouldn't feed the baby shampoo, the mother shouldn't wash her hair until baby is weaned. - Susan Kent M.D. Austin, TX
