So my last poll was about caffeine consumption among BFers on MN - who here takes cocodamol? I know the advice is to stick to paracetamol or ibuprofen when BFing but that stuff doesn't even touch the sides for me, for example, when DS kindly gave me his cold recently or right now when I have a headache that feels like my right eyeball is about to pop out onto the floor (probably also DS-related - sleep deprivation dontcha know?) I do my best to limit them - I think I've had two 8/500 cocodamols, i.e. the over the counter variety, on 3 occasions since DS was born 5 months ago. I've tried combining one cocodamol with one paracetamol - may as well have not taken either for all the good it did. Am I a bad mother who just needs to suck it up more for the sake of my child or do others treat themselves to some effective pain relief on occasion also?
