Anyone take macrobid to treat UTI while breastfeeding?

Hi Ladies!

I have a UTI & this is what they prescribed for me. My doctor's office says it is safe while breastfeeding but I'm just uneasy about it. The insert packet that came with the meds says it cannot be taken while breastfeeding an infant under 1 month old. It goes on to say that you should check with your doc for the potential risks to children older than 1 month (my son is 2 months). I wanna trust my doctor but I'm just really nervous.

Any experiences are appreciated! Thanks!

    I had a sinus infection and took a z pack while breastfeeding. Maybe just try to drink lots of extra water.
