Hello LACTNETters, Just saw a doctor( don't know what kind, I don't think she was OB or Ped.) on Fox at Noon. The newscaster happenned to ask if a mom who is ill should keep BF. Distilled response: yes, it doesn't hurt the baby as long as the antibiotic is checked as one OK for BF. Doctor said she nursed her baby while on antibiotics. Although she didn't mention the BENEFITS of continued nursing she said it wouldn't harm the baby, and was critical to keep nursing during mastitis(assuring the TV audience that the infection doesn't pass through and hurt the nursing baby). Decent TV spot. Judy, Brooklyn, NY
