Hello there..... Amoxicillin is excreted into human milk in small amounts and is considered compatible with breast-feeding...... Clavulanate has not been detected in human milk. Adverse effects in the nursing infant are unlikely. The recommends caution when amoxicillin-clavulanate is administered to a nursing woman..... However, amoxyclav is generally a safer drug during lactational period.....
