My wife is having Breast Mastitis. She's on antibiotics and can she still breastfeed? Doctor advise is after full course of antibiotics then continue with BF

Depends on the type of antibiotics, most are ok to breastfeed while taking. Sometimes doctor can be overly cautious. You can search the name of the antibiotic here to see if it's safe for breastfeeding https://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/newtoxnet/lactmed.htm

Suggest to take doctor’s advice. Think the doctor does not want baby to get fed breast milk with the antibiotics.
