Clindamycin and Breast-feeding

Cynthia F. Mann MD1

1 Community Health Care Plan, New Haven, CT 06511

As breast-feeding becomes increasingly popular, physicians who prescribe drugs for the nursing mother must watch for adverse effects on the infant. At our hospital some mothers receive combination antibiotic treatment with ampicillin, gentamicin, and clindamycin for antepartum infections. None of these drugs has been reported to cause morbidity in the newborn following transfer in breast milk, and we have not routinely discontinued nursing when these drugs have been used. A recent case in our practice suggests a possible adverse effect of such maternal antibiotic therapy on the nursing neonate.
