Okay I have a question, they had me on a bunch of medication at the hospital, I still really want to breast feed but don't want pain medication or anything else in my breast milk. How much do I have to pump to get it out of my milk? I know I have to wait about three days to get it out of my system but it does stay in your breast milk, right? If any of you ladies can give me more information about this I would really appreciate it!
Did they say if the medication would affect baby? There's a lot of medications that are safe and don't affect baby/don't enter your milk.
It will leave your milk as it leaves your bloodstream. So you will have to pump to keep supply up, but pumping won't "remove" it from your milk if that makes sense.
It depends on the medication...they had me on Vicodin but it's safe when breastfeeding.
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
Breast Feeding mommies, Saturday is my mans bday and he wants to go out to a bar. I was thinking about having a couple beers. if I did how long would my milk be bad for?
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Thinking About Buying a Red Hair Dye Tonight and Do My Hair Tomorrow But Having Second Thoughts. 😕 Hmmmm, Idk if I Really Want Red.
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared...
you know they did tell me both. at first I did nurse him and the nurse just gave me a norco before that and told me to feed him but then I went to recovery and they told me I couldn't nurse with him while taking any opiates. I thought it was okay too but I really didn't want to chance it and it be in his system. I was already taking a pain killer every once in awhile during my pregnancy and a social worker found out about it and came and talked to me. I am kinda nervous about having it in his system. I can't believe they would even think it was a big deal, not like I was taking them everyday and if I did I took a half, MAYBE a whole one every once in awhile. I have a feeling they are going to try to look more into it somehow. at least I was honest with them! I will ask my doctor about it. thank you all. @kmally @mommaembe @swtlilangl
