Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. You may easily feed your baby with formula Nan 1 approximately 120 ml every 3-3,5 hours. Chloramphenicol can penetrate to milk and cause severe anemia. Don't worry, just save your milk, then continue after antibiotics. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
