Hi

Going to dentist this afternoon and having injections (now experienced childbirth, should be a breeze...not)

Will ask when I'm there but anyone know guidance on breastfeeding when had anaesthetic?

Is fine, I had a dental extraction (wisdom tooth) whilst exlcusively bf a 4 months old. Lots of injections!

On another occasion when excl. bf as well, I had local anaesthetic injection to remove a mole, also fine for bf.

You will be fine!
