What antibiotics when BFing?

I have a sinus infection from hell and am trying to get some antibiotics prescribed.  What have you taken while BFing?  It looks like most things are okay (according to a super quick google search), but wanted real life info!

    I was on AMOXICILLIN 500 MG CAPSULE not to long ago due to an ear infection.  I must have asked 12 times if it was safe.  Im still BFing

    I've taken amox and z-pack. Google Dr. Thomas Hale. He and his staff are the authority on what is and isn't safe for breastfeeding. From what remember you could send them an email.

    i think i've taken three different things and don't remember them all--antibiotics while BFing are totally not a big deal. i think one that i took was erythromycin. feel better soon!

    talk to your doc about it... if your PCP isn't sure- ask the pediatrician or OB.

    I have taken some that were OK -but also was on some that were not OK (when i had a kidney infection right after giving birth).... i wouldn't take advice from the internet... ask your docs.

    I took keflex when I was pregnant for an infection and I believe it is also what they prescribe for mastitis.

    Thanks ladies!! 

    I figured my 'doc' would prescribe amoxicillan or a z-pack so I called the lactation consultant at my hospital and they said both were fine, but amoxicillan was a little preferred. 

    I starting taking it last night and am already starting to feel better.

    I'm allergic to all the regular ones, so I took Clindamiacin (sp?)

    I actually trust Dr. Hale on this WAY more than your average PCP. They seem to be clueless on BFing issues.
