If you have mastitis and the doctor gave you an antibiotic knowing you are nursing, it should be okay. I have had mastitis at least once with each of my three boys and have been encouraged to continue nursing. I would put a call into your doctor and/or your pharmacist to make sure.

I just did a quick search and you are on one of the two most common antibiotics given fro mastitis, so you should be fine. I have usually been put on cephalexin initially and then have even moved up to stringer antibiotics.
