It is generally safe to continue breastfeeding your one-year-old baby while taking Metrogyl (metronidazole) 400mg. While a small amount of this medication does pass into breast milk, it is unlikely to harm an older baby. However, to be safe, please monitor your little one for any mild side effects like loose stools, diaper rash, or unusual fussiness. To minimize your baby's exposure, you can breastfeed just before taking your scheduled dose. Please consult your pediatrician to ensure this is best for your baby's specific health.
