I don't believe this to be true. It is my understanding that most drugs taken
by lactating mothers show up in very small amounts in breast milk. I have not
heard of one antiobiotic that is not safe to take. I had to take some
medication for dental work a while back and researched this extensively and
found to my surprise that there was very little I could not take. The source
is Dr. Hale if anyone is interested and there is a website (I would have to
look it up to find it).

actually, the way it works is that most, in fact the VAST majority of
medications--even the ones tha do show up in milk, are less harmful than
not nursing at all is.

Read what I wrote. In some cases (SOME cases) this happens in mammals
INCLUDING humans. Not ALL cases, not ALL the time, not ALL antibiotics but
it can and does happen. BTW, penicillin and sulfa drugs are the worst
offenders.

And please reread your own answer in which you yourself state "MOST" drugs.
There is no medical webside, or there shouldn't be, that states absolutes!
Anyone who has ever worked in the medical profession will tell you,
including your own doctor (or he should if he is a good doctor and not a
hack), that there is no such thing as an answer in medicine that says
ALWAYS.

The statement was in reference to generalities and the original statement
"It isn't a "sweeping generality" to say that any other mammal should be
breastfed," which is in fact a sweeping generality.

"Believe" and "fact" are not synonymous. It is a fact that SOME humans and
other mammals bodies act as a sieve and the amount of antibiotic or other
substance that goes into their body goes through and out in the breast milk
in the same concentration it goes in. It doesn't happen often in humans but
it does happen. It happens relatively frequently in some mammals, in
particular some breeds of dogs. In those breeds when a c-section is done,
wise breeders do not let the vets give the bitches antibiotics because there
is a very real posibility that the puppies will die if they injest the
bitch's milk after she is given antibiotics.

Therefore, the statement stands as stated which was qualified by "some,"
"uncommon" and other such words.

Actually, there are now studies being done as to the long term effects on
children exposed to antibiotics etc. from long term nursing and whether that
might be part of the reason society is experiencing so many more resistant
"bugs."

And, again, the subject was generalities which your response is also.

yeh, that would be antibiotics in cow milk, cow meat, etc. Not enough

That is fine Lynda. It appears I have struck a nerve which I was not trying
to do. . . only stating my own experience with breastfeeding and taking
drugs. When I knew I would have to take something, I had no idea how
misinformed I was about drugs, in this case antiobiotics and breastfeeding. I
was not willing for any reason to give up breastfeeding and was prepared to
do anything, including not taking antiobiotics for an abcess. I was glad to
find out I didn't have to. Of course there are no absolutes. . . I definitely
believe in the gray area, but I also think there is a lot of misinformation
among health (s)care providers about breastfeeding. That has been my own
experience anyway.

yes, but then the baby would already have the dope in its system from the pregnancy unless the hospital put it on detox at birth.

The studies that have already been done were on cow's milk and on the
residuals in the flesh of beef, lamb, pork and chicken. The most current
study is on human milk as more and more women are nursing because of
attachment parenting, LLL, natural child birth, midwifery, etc. being
accepted as not just something that "hippies" do, more and more women are
nursing for longer periods of time.

Studies show that weed is passed through breast milk. Babies whose mothers
smoke test positive for use in urine tests.

Not necessarily. If the major marijuana metabolite
(11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC) is what is present in the mother's body, it
does not pass through the placental barrier, nor does the fetus break 9-THC
down into 11 nor like the mother's body does. Delta-9-THC does, however,
cross the placenta and enter the fetus.

Unlike cocaine, herion and meth, babies are not born "addicted" (in the
accepted definition of the word) to weed nor do they go through withdrawals.
Most hospitals do not test new borns for THC nor do they have an infant
detox program for weed.

I first learned about this when we raised English Bulldogs. Most bulls
can't deliver naturally and are done by c-section. Being a novice, I didn't
pay as much attention as I should have when we bought the bitch and then had
her bred. Our vet was not a bulldog specialist. He gave her antibiotics
after the c-section as a routine thing, not as a necessary thing. He did
not tell me about it. All but one of the puppies died--the one that
couldn't nurse. I had an autoposy done ($250 back in the dark ages) and
they had died of anaphalactic shock induced by penicillin which came through
the milk post surgery.

I don't have all the books on this where I can get to them. However, years
later when I worked as Nursing Services Coordinator, I did coordination of
ECUs for nursing staff (they have to complete so many ECUs to keep their
license current) and one of the videos and talks was on this very thing and
what to watch for in the new baby nursery and the ICN (ours locally had
mothers who wanted to nurse come in and nurse ICN babies if they (both)
could. It is rare but not totally unheard of. I suppose I could find it in
one of the nursing books.
