Macrobid is on “the list” of “pretty safe” drugs to take while nursing, Dr. Hale rates it an “L2”, which is the second safest rating (hardly anything qualifies in the safest catagory).
If you’re not nursing exclusively because of your personal choice, that’s fine. But if it’s on more advice from your ped, he’s very likely full of more crap. If you post the advice, I’ll ask the wife to give you the straight dope.

His scalp IV. They try and cover it a bit so he won’t pull it out or roll over on it.
Wow. Just wow.
You’re still in all our thoughts. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through something so horrible, and I’m glad it seems to have turned out reasonably well.
Hugs to you both.
Geeze, inkleberry. I read this whole thread thinking you were the father. I have to say that line came as something of a shock to me! I’m so glad you and baby are back home, and I hope things continue to get better 
That’s so funny, Grasshopper, I did the same thing! Weird. I wonder what gave us that (misleading) impression…
Not that it makes any differenece, of course, but my brain did do a backflip when we got to the breastfeeding part! 
You have a beautiful baby. We have a few of our own ‘happy baby’ pictures too :). Glad to hear you are home again.
I thought you were the father too. I don’t know why! It’s not like Inkleberry is such a masculine name…live and learn.
Glad to hear it all came out okay. It just occurred to me that your baby’s name should be Tinkleberry, inkleberry. And I thought you were the father, too.
They are. When Caterpie had one I was freaked out at first.
Glad things are better than initially thought, and that all of you are home.
Tinkleberry it is.
Ok, so I may be a bit butch, but not that much!
Count me in as another that thought **inkleberry **was the father.
My very best wishes to you and little tinkleberry, he’s such a cute thing, makes me want to hug him.
hey Inkleberry, Everything still ok?
Tomorrow (Thursday) we are going to the endocrinologist for the metabolic results. Then we only have the VCUG (kidney/bladder reflux test) and MRIs to go. The MRI is to check his basal ganglia and hypothalamus. So many doctors!
We almost went back to the hospital on Monday. He was peeing through a LOT of diapers and eating a lot, and we thought his kidney problems might be back. But he’s been peeing less the past few days, so maybe it was just a one-off.
He’s off the antibiotics…for now. He’s eating like a horse, but it is in the realm of appropriate eating.
I’ll let you know how the endo goes tomorrow.
Good luck, and certainly let us know!
I’m starting a new thread. This one has gotten insanely long and convuluted. Updates will make more sense in another one I think.
New thread is here
And on that note, I think I’ll lock this one off.
