Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that there is not much data and recommendation regarding the side effects on baby if father is taking norfloxacin but it is contraindicated in females who are trying to concieveor are pregnant .
I will advise you to complete the course of this antibiotic and then try planning for your child as precautions are always better .
Take care.
