Tina-
I have seen mixed bits about MRSA and breastfeeding. 
This is one journal article I have found that says mom definitely should not breastfeed while infected but not sure about how long to wait with her particular antibiotics.

There are a lot of research bits that say once mom is on antibiotics it is ok to breastfeed...

Taking a Course of Antibiotics for an MRSA Infection and Breastfeeding
New mothers can breastfeed whilst on a course of antibiotics to treat an MRSA infection. There are no problems occurring for the majority of breastfed babies whilst their mothers are taking antibiotics. However, it should be noted that some babies might develop an allergy to the antibiotics. In this case a different antibiotic can be prescribed to treat the skin infection.

Passing on an MRSA Infection whilst Breastfeeding
It is possible for an infection to spread from mother to baby when breastfeeding. Whether breastfeeding or not, a baby’s bottles, storage containers and anything else used for or by the baby must be thoroughly washed and sterilised to reduce the risk of passing on an MRSA infection.

There is a company that sells chemical free baby clothes that are antibacterial and kill MRSA on the skin. They have some information on the products forum but their web address is www.babypinkorblue.co.uk

Not sure if any of this helped...
