URGENT**BREASTFEEDING
Hey ladies! my son is breastfed and I'm on 3 antibiotics as of Saturday night. ive been on metronidizale 500mg two times a day since Wednesday. I began clindamycin and amoxicillin saturday. it was approved for breastfeeding. HOWEVER. My son nursed this morning but ive offered more than 4 times (normally he nurses breakfast, lunch and dinner but sometimes a snack at 3) he has refused every time by BITING my nipple. I dont know what to do. he doesnt. normally take a bottle but its bedtime. hes refused once again. bit hard and through a temper tantrum! I am pumping to see if he WILL take a bottle but... I'm worried he won't. if he doesn't what do i do?? and why is he doing this?! I am on the verge of tears. I dont understand. I am off metronidizale tomorrow evening . I'm taking prenatals + vitamin with biotin as well. please help 😭😰😫
UPDATE:
I did pump a bottle for him and he had 5oz out of the 9 I had expressed. he was full and went to sleep. so..he drank the milk from the bottle...? why is he continually biting my nipple when I offer or fighting me and wanting down? could he be weaning THIS fast?!?

@littleone23, lol. He’s mad you messed with his milk! 😂 My last baby would bite me and it took some loud “ouches” and some firm “no’s “ but he got the idea.
I bet it has changed the taste... just keep offering it to him.
@morgan.k I have a UTI,an abcess in the vaginal area and also bacterial vaginitis. I habe to follow up but hoping the abcess isnt what needs to be cut again 😳😖 so far..I honestly have no idea of any improvements. ive been more worried for my son to be nursing. I'm still having some itchiness...probably cause I worked out and I most likely shouldnt have.
Yeah I would just try to get him to drink something. Milk or a little water before bed and once he sleeps he will probably wake up at some point wanting to nurse normally again. Hopefully anyway
a while back he went to sleep without wanting to nurse but I had nursed him before dinner which I dont normally do. but that was a few weeks ago. . .
@kambam he has a sippy cup and uses it when drinking water... but its like a regular cup. he hasnt been fond of nipples unless its for tylenol.
Do you have a sippy cup? It's a good idea to have him practice one if he hasn't yet. The milk might taste a little different but he won't starve himself.
@elenalee well he completely throws a full temper tantrum when I try to get him to nurse after hes already bitten me. he Drank a bottle last night. I have yet to know if he will nurse this morning ...
