UTI and Breastfeeding

What can you take for a UTI while breastfeeding?  Sorry to bother everyone with this since I'm being stubborn to go to the Dr.since I've been 4+ times this month. I have taken AZO in the past, but it states on the box to check with physician if breastfeeding and when googling it says no.  Besides drowning in cranberry juice is there anything I can take even though I'm breastfeeding?  Going on day 3 with this stupid thing.

    Since its an infection and youre already on day 3, I suggest calling to see if they can get you antibiotic.

    Yep, I also suggest getting on an antibiotic. Cranberry juice does more go help prevent UTIs than it does cure them.

    Do you have a "minute clinic" (CVS) or something like it (an urgent care center) you could go to? I had to do this over a weekend once. They were able to help me out, then I went to my doctor when he opened on Monday.

    I do have an urgent care nearby that I could go to but hubbys away so I'd have to find someone to watch the baby since I'll probably be down there a while.  Thanks guys we'll see how things go today and if no better then I'll head to urgent care.

    I feel bad risking AZO if its a no no, but I'm so hating the idea of going to the doctor....so selfish of me.

    If you take cranberry juice, make sure it is the REAL stuff, and not "cranberry juice cocktail" found in the juice section of the store. (Really cranberry juice does not taste very pleasant, and will probably only be found in the "natural" section of the grocery store.)

    You can take AZO while breastfeeding.  But I agree about needing antibiotics ASAP.

    There is an antibiotic that has no effect on baby or milk supply but I totally don't remember the name.... I think it begins with a c

    Also don't wait on this - get thee to a doctor. I have asymptomatic uti's which means I don't know I have them until they are in my kidneys and let me tell you they are painful and dangerous.

    I think it's cipro.

    I took Keflex for 7 days for a UTi when I was nursing.
    I did end up with an awesome yeast infection in my milk ducts. It sucked and took forever to get rid of!!!!!
    Def need antibiotic for the UTi and yes probiotics for sure!
    Cipro is not recommended while nursing- it is what I usually take for them when not nursing though.
