I just got my new Lawrence, so am using it:
On Streptococcus (Group B) she has a chart on Page 883 in which she says "
Yes,[to breastfeeding] (after 24 hours of oeffective therapy); for
perinatal exposure, high risk, or suspected illness, infant is given
empiric therapy."
If the babies had been breastfeeding prior to the discovery of this
infection and  as the treatment is Penicillin and ampicillin, I question
the need for weaning for 24 hours.  However, as the twins had not been
breastfeeding the situation is different - I am interested in others' views
on this.

In fact, on Streptococcus (Group A) she also says breastfeeding can
continue "24 hours after beginning appropriate tharapy; discard breast milk
for 24 hours."
