Hi all,

I have been very busy and keep saving all my Lactnet so I can read them later.
If someone needs to talk to me, or to the region 10 rep. for ICLA; send me a
private email.

I do have a question about an antibiotic.  I am working with a mother who has
had a kidney infection.  She was on an antibiotic that was compatible with
breastfeeding.  After 14 days, it was not working.  The doctor put her on
Noroxin (sorry I couldn't find the generic).  Her baby is six months old and
weighs about 18 lbs.  She takes 400mg. 2 times/day.  She did call the University
of Washington and they said to stop.  She is to take the med. for 5 days but
could be on it for longer.

Her family is prone to kidney and bladder infections.  She did not get one while
pregnant or early lactation; however she usually gets them about 2 times/year.
We need suggestions for the short term problem and some long term suggestions as
well.  Let me know on the net or private email.

Thanks in advance,
