Cefuroxime 500

Updated

My daughter has been prescribed Cefuroxime 500 for an infection and has only taken it for 1 day (2 doses) Last night the baby breastfed at 11:00 pm then went to sleep and did not wake up until 12:00 PM (13 hours and no food) He is only 3 WEEKS old! Even with her sitting him up, rubbing his back , changing his diaper using a cold diaper wipe, which he hates, she still had a hard time waking him. He finally woke up long enough to breastfeed. It is now 1:10 and he still wants to sleep. Could the antibiotic be in the breast milk be causing this?

Hi, Dana! Wow, that's kind of frightening and I don't blame you for being concerned.

These types of antibiotics don't usually have high concentrations in breast milk, but the effects that even a low concentration may have on an infant are unknown.

Learn more Cefuroxime details here.

There are other antibiotics that are known to be safe, so I'd suggest she talk to her doctor about taking a different one.

She should also consult her pediatrician to have her son checked out.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
