meds when bf - HELP PLEASE

[chloemegjess]

hello. sorry for grammer but doing left handed. managed to drop boiling hot fat down myself tofday. Just gotm home from hospital and got hand all bandaged up. #

Basically, they gave me pain killers, cant remember what they were but she said were strong. Didnt evevn think about it till on way home, but i dont think I can take stuff when BF.

How long shall I wait tiill I can BF again? dont like givoing formula.

Oooh you poor thing - it sounds painful ++++

I think it would be worth giving the pharmacy a ring or going back to ask them if you're close to it. I have taken various meds whilst bf, not all are bad but you do need to get the right info from pharmacist or dr.
How old is your baby and what are the meds - in case a chemist-y person happens to wander in here?

You need to say which painkillers they are. I had very strong ones for gall stones when dd was tiny, and was warned that although not recommended whilst bf, the side effects on dd would just be that she would be sleepy and get constipated.

Not quite clear whether you were just given one dose in the hospital, or have some to take at home? If just in hospital then call them up and ask - it will be on your record what you had.
