Hi Mam. Can breast feed as metronidazole and co_amoxiclav are safe in g6pd deficiency. So you can breast feed. Avoid exposing the child to naphthalene balls as they may trigger reaction in the child.
Next Steps
Every time mention to your doctor that your child is g6pd deficient so that some commonly used medicines which can trigger reaction can be avoided.
