Hi there,
I am a new mum with a 7 weeks old child that I only breastfeed. For several reasons, I absolutely refuse to give formula to my baby. I am currently very worried as I gave an abscess on the gum where an implant is. I will of course book an emergency appointment with my dentist but in the meantime I would like to get a few answers and would like to be reassured.
Here are my questions:
-will I be able to carry on breatsfeeding my baby? My concern is about antibiotics. I suppose that If the implant has to be replaced in order to sort out the abscess, I might have to take antibiotics and in this case they would be transferred to the breast milk.
- what are the various procedures to treat abscesses on an implant?
- what can be done to treat the problem without taking antibiotics (that is what I wish). I really want to stress the fact the importance of breastfeeding my baby only.
