Breastfeeding Friend is receiving:
11/30: Dexamethasone 20mg injection
Rocephin 1gm injection x 2
12/1: Prednisone 60 mg PO
12/2-3: Prednisone 40 mg PO
12/4: Prednisone 30 mg PO
12/5-6: Prednisone 20 mg PO
12/7-10:Prednisone 10 mg PO
Augmentin 875mg PO
Diflucan 150 mg PO
Mucinex PO (expectorant)
It is my understanding through Hale's literature that the above meds are ok
with breastfeeding; however we wanted to shift her breastfeeding times to
minimize medication exposure of steroids. I have suggested that she wait 3-4
hours after taking PO Prednisone before breastfeeding. Her baby is almost 1
year old and also takes in some solid foods.
Any suggestions or alterations to above breastfeeding plan as well as any
experience with above meds causing a decrease in milk supply?
Any helpful information is greatly appreciated by myself and this mom.
