Is it allowed to take Amoxicillin-Clavulanate during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Excretion into breast milk is insignificant. No adverse effects reported in breasted infants. It is commonly prescribed for infants by Pediatricians. Be aware of false negative bacterial cultures in the infant when the mother is on antibiotics.

This medicine has given me terrible headaches, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and body aches. Stopped taking it on the third day. This morning I opened the bottle and the pills are crumbling! So I broke one open and it is like sawdust on the inside. My body still aches. After reading all of the comments on here am glad to know I am not the only one to have severe reaction to this medication. Will be calling my doctor and my pharmacy.
