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.
