Is It Safe To Give Flucloxacillin With Milk?

Hi I d be very grateful if you d answer my question, please. My daughter was prescribed Flucloxacillin (& Amoxicillin) yesterday evening (for an infected post-surgery scar; the surgery was just over a year ago & this keeps happening so she s booked to her surgeon re: ? stitch left later this month) but I m finding it difficult to give all doses of the Flucox as directed. My question is: may I give Fluclox to my 16month old followed by (150ml ish) cows milk? She always has milk at 7am then goes back to sleep until nearer 9am (lucky me, I know!) when she then has breakfast. I can do the other 3 doses on empty stomach more easily. Many thanks Caroline
