Dear Consultants,
I have been no mail but have some concerns and would appreciate your 
guidance. I received a call today from a client that took my breastfeeding 
class. She was trying to get ahold of a LC that was at the hospital where she 
delivered but was unable to. 
Her baby is just one month of age. She has been exclusively pumping. States 
she had mastitis and abscesses. She had surgery to drain the abscess. Her 
midwife called her today to tell her she found MRSA. She put her on 
Clindamyacin 150mg q 6 hrs. She has not been pumping on the affected side.
She has been pumping and feeding baby on unaffected side. I would like to 
guide her. Since she has been feeding the baby all along I do not see any 
reason for her to stop. I did tell her that she may see thrush in the baby in a 
few weeks. I know that the Clindamyacin is safe according to Dr. Hale, MMM, 
book. I would like to guide her but I have not had experience in this infection.
I do have Barbara Wilson Clay's book so will do some research tonight. 
Please email me at my work email since I will not be able to follow up at this 
address until tomorrow evening. Please send to [log in to unmask]
Thank you in advance,
Theresa Klein RN, IBCLC, RLC
