When a doctor asks you to stop breast feeding so you can take an anti biotic, for an ear…

I've taken antibiotics while pregnant, and while breastfeeding twice. 😐😐😐😐

@t142 I'm against taking anything, even before I was pregnant/nursing. But thats just me.

@sarisings, I understand. I didn't take my pain killers after I had my daughter via c-section because I was afraid while breastfeeding.

Put some breast milk in your ear or try natural remedies. When I had my son, my doc wanted me to stop breast feeding to prescribe me a scar reduction cream on my c-section scar. Mind you my son was just a few months old.

@kimny Of course! I did that when I had an infection in both ears a couple months ago. I literally only went to the doctors to get a note for work. It amazes me how little docs know about breast milk and its healing properties.

My doctor tried to tell me to pump and dump so he could put me on a certain medication when I told him that medication wasn't an option for me while having a baby. It was a controlled substance I'm like I need to be able to care for my then 3 month old. And I certainly wasn't about to pump and dump especially when I was never a successful pumper and waste my milk!

@missjess So many doctors are misinformed. It's sad really, all that schooling and such...
