For the mom who has been diagnosed with GBS mastitis -- Has she had a culture of the wound or her milk? I didn't see this mentioned in her post. Perhaps another organism is responsible and a different antibiotic is needed. Also, has she had systemic treatment for yeast? In this case, an infectious disease doctor might not be such a bad idea, since their entire practice focus is figuring out what iscausing an infection and fixing it. Mom can let the ID doc know that continued breastfeeding is a very important goal to her, and that she can help with references for determining if a med is safe to continue to use.
