My daughter has been exclusively pumping since her son was born 5 months
ago.  About a month and a half ago she had a bout of mastitis which
required 10 days of dicloxacillin therapy.  Two weeks after she stopped the
medication the baby developed a fungal diaper rash which has proven
resistant to lotrimin and nystatin.  Pedatrician recommended either a
course of diflucan or ketaconazole.  They are opting to try the
ketaconazole first.  In addition to that baby started having intermittent
green stools, which have become more and more frequent.  Her pediatrician
is now recommending that she eliminate dairy and soy from her diet relative
to the color, consistency and microscopic blood found in the baby's stool.
Baby is not demonstrating any sort of discomfort, is eating, sleeping and
gaining well.  I am wondering if anyone has seen antibiotic therapy cause
these symptoms.  The pediatrician is chalking the stool up to food allergy
or
intolerance and the fungal diaper rash as a coincidental problem.

Thoughts, advice?

Many Thanks,
Joan Greenberg RN, IBCLC
