Infiltration with ampicillin IV push doses

Has anyone else seen increased rates of infiltration with ampicillin IV push doses?
we recently switched to IV push antibiotics in light of the shortage and our L&D dept has reported infiltration occurring in their patients who are on ampicillin.

They are running it on a syringe pump.
