Taking CIPRO while Nursing/BFing?

[cc8]

Anyone have that book by Tom Hale? Can you please let me know what is says about taking the antibiotic CIPRO while nursing? I'll be calling the ped tomorrow, but thought I'd post in case anyone was online. Thanks!

I don't have the book, but he does have forums. I remember looking something up there before. FWIW, they're for healthcare professionals, so it's more technically-minded, but you can login as a guest and look for an answer before calling the ped. http://neonatal.ttuhsc.edu/lact/medicationforumspage.html

Its an L3 (moderately safe), observe infant for diarrhea risk.

"Current studies seem to suggest that the amount of cipro present in the milk is quite low."
