Hello,
As per my clinical experience, Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection by various reasons. The breast feeding is not contraindicated in the woman suffering from chlamydia, but it is the intake of certain antibiotics which pause issue with the breast feeding issue.
While you are getting prescription of antibiotics for this infection, kindly discuss its relevance with the breast feeding issue with your treating doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
