@rooksie I was put on a z-pak (azithromycin) for strep when I was breastfeeding which is safe. Also, if your symptoms get worse on the antibiotics it could be a thrush infection. I had one once that was mistaken for strep and the antibiotics obviously made it worse since thrush is a fungal infection. Once I got in the right meds though it cleared up quick.

I feel like crap. I went to the doctor this morning and the rapid strep test was negative, but my tonsils are covered in white patches. They put me on antibiotics anyway but the nurse practitioner was clueless about breastfeeding and meds. I already planned on vacation for tomorrow, but I spent today on the couch too and just want to crash. But I have to feel better by Saturday for fantasy football draft. Straight up amoxicillin or other penicillins should be fine for BFing, I think. As far as antibiotics go, those are generally mild. And cillins are very effective against strep. Thank you! She tried telling me I can’t take claratin and breastfeed. I’ve been taking it for probably 6mo now daily. |

I hope you feel better rooskiethatgolfb oh hello again life twin. We were out of town two weekends ago, DH was up north last weekend, he is going out of town with friends this weekend, and then he’s going up north again the weekend after that (but should be home early on the Sunday mornings the next two weekends). That + getting up with the baby 3x a night and I’m just so damn tired. |

I seriously hope it isn’t thrush. I normally get a strain of strep that isn’t picked up on the rapid tests, so I’m hoping it’s some form of strep. (I mean, if it’s something). I won’t get my results back until Monday. |

@waffles - i’ll say it, too - do not worry! DS didn’t crawl until around 10 months. He preferred rolling because it was faster!
And re: no 2 babies are the same: the girls are 4 minutes apart and basically have had the same experiences ... and they are developing at different paces (sometimes a month apart)!
