I would avoid fluoroquinolones (which Cipro is) whenever possible. Especially for something where there are many other antibiotic alternatives. This group of antibiotics has been associated with some really serious, disabling side effects
MSK side effects of cipro have not shown to be significant risks in the neonate or pediatric population. Cipro can be excreted in breaktmilk but is done so at such a low level that it is considered to be safe to take while nursing. You should monitor for GI issues while taking, but discontinuing breastfeeding while on cipro is neither recommended nor is it justified in the literature.

Yeah but the woman isn't on cipro..she is on macrobid.
I'm not talking about the risks of cipro to the baby...but to mom. Why take a med that has possible side effects when there is another med that you can take?
The FDA alert says this class of drug should be avoided when other meds are available. Especially for treating something basic like a UTI.
