I'm on doxycycline for the next 10 days and was told I cannot breastfeed while using it. However, my daughter is 17 months old and really only nurses for comfort maybe 3 to 4 times a day for very short amounts of time. I don't even suspect she's getting a lot of milk. Am I correct that with such a short duration on the medicine coupled with the fact that she doesn't take much milk, that the risk is very low or even zero risk in this case for dental staining?
