Hi,
Firstly, if blood culture was done and tested sensitivity to amikacin, then administering amikacin is correct. Although amikacin is not given in isolation. It will be combined with another antibiotic, depending on the infection you have. Secondly, Amikacin is safe to be given during breast feeding. it will not affect your child.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
